The project on "The multiple values attained through partially protected areas" in Australia aims to provide evidence-based tools and knowledge for resource managers to effectively implement marine zoning policies. By reviewing definitions, characterizing implementation, and quantifying the benefits of partially protected areas (PPAs), the project enhances understanding and decision-making. It contributes to clarity and consistency in PPA management, evaluates their effectiveness in achieving stated goals, and promotes fair access to marine resources. With a focus on environmental, economic, and social dimensions, the project enables the development of quantitative decision support tools for resource managers, facilitating the implementation of appropriate marine policies and ensuring sustainable management practices.
