About this Research Topic
This Research Topic will showcase all the operational scientific evidence collection, social science studies, the development of management strategies and economic studies that have been undertaken and been necessary to ensure that all policy decisions have been fully evidence-informed. The current list of proposed papers is highly multidisciplinary and covers an extremely wide geographical area which includes, British Antarctic Territory, South Sandwich Islands, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena, Ascension Island, Pitcairn Island and British Indian Ocean Territory.
We feel that there is much to be learned from these studies, not only in other UK territories, but in a broader global context. Contributions from colleagues from around the world working on similar programs will enhance the topic by adding their experiences and lessons learned.
Keywords: Marine protection, Sustainability, Policy critical
