Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be designated on an individual basis or sometimes through a systematic process. International conventions call for the establishment of coherent, representative and well managed MPA networks, at national but also regional scales, beyond administrative borders. The primary question addressed here is: how does the set of individual MPAs in the Channel ecologically look like as a whole? This document summarizes work undertaken within work package 1 of the PANACHE project: assessing the ecological coherence of the Channel MPA network (Foster et al. 2014).
