Spanish marine policy: Role of Marine Protected Areas

Marine Policy, 1994, vol. 18, issue 4, 345-352

Abstract: The network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Spain began to take shape at the beginning of the current decade. Although MPAs are limited both in number and in area, they do however operate within a legal framework which enables t he protection of natural space to be extended to the maritime environment. Given the state's political-territorial organization, protection initiatives come from both the central government and the autonomous regions. This means that a greater degree of coordination is necessary between the 10 riparian autonomous regions and the national administration.
