Figure 1

Global mismatch in marine conservation protection. (a) Global map of differences between current levels of marine protection and levels produced using a hypothetical “consensus approach” that prioritizes all key conservation concerns (listed in b and shown in Fig. S1). Areas highlighted in red and blue correspond to over- or under prioritized MEOWs with significantly higher or lower degree of protection relative to current levels, respectively. (b) Levels of “prioritization error” for each prioritization schemes (current, consensus, perfect and random) and specific marine conservation concerns. See methods for description of approaches towards production of each prioritization scheme. The figure was created by the authors using the R software, version 3.1.2 (http://www.R-project.org).
