SUMMARY:Assessing MPA Quality at Scale
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to the MPAtlas Assessment Portal\nOct 20\, 2026 12:00 PM ESTPresented by: Beth Pike\, Jessica MacCarthy\, and Nikki Harasta of the Marine Conservation Institute.Description: The Marine Protection Atlas (MPAtlas) is the leading resource for marine protected area (MPA) effectiveness tracking and reporting. The MPAtlas team is building a comprehensive global database of MPA assessments using The MPA Guide\, a science-based framework that evaluates an MPA across two dimensions: Stage of Establishment (its status in the process of becoming an MPA) and Level of Protection (how well it is protected from the impact of human activities). With nearly 17\,000 officially reported MPAs\, growing the database requires the expertise of scientists and practitioners across the globe. To facilitate data collection\, the MPAtlas team recently launched the new MPAtlas Assessment Portal\, a data entry portal that allows users to complete MPA Guide assessments and submit additional data to existing assessments to help grow the MPAtlas database. Join the MPAtlas team on this webinar to learn more about the purpose\, utility\, and functionality of the new data portal\, including a brief tour of the portal and tips on how to register and get started.\nHosted by: OCTORegister Here
