Digital Media: PowerPoint Presentation

A key strength of the MPA Education and Outreach Initiative is the breadth and depth of experts on marine protected areas and ocean conservation that are involved in the project. Several important PowerPoint presentations explaining the purpose, design, and scientific basis for MPAs are assembled below. They may be used to increase your understanding of the concepts or to augment your outreach and training sessions. The presentations are provided in Zipped PowerPoint and PDF formats. Please do not distribute without credit to the author(s).
