Description of the event: There are numerous ongoing UN and non-governmental initiatives to map important marine areas at the global scale. As countries of the world seek to achieve numerical targets for marine protected areas, scientists must emphasize the "where" and the "how." To help achieve the former, we used GIS to overlay ten global maps, quantify the extent to which they overlap, and then conduct a gap analysis to show areas of importance that are not currently protected by MPAs. This webinar will present study results as well as a new online version of the map available here: https://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/research/global-research/macop/ Subscribe to the webinar through the following link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Cm7QQOy3S7qZo5yRm_XTkA
