Provides information on trends in location, size, purpose, and management of existing marine managed areas on the U.S. west coast, covering the states of Washington, Oregon, and California. Notes that fewer than 0.1% of those MMAs are no-take, while others allow at least some fishing activity. Analyzes results in terms of levels of protection, impacts on fishing, and conservation focus, and notes results are intended to inform effective conservation and management of marine ecosystems in the area, as well as to provide the foundation for designing an effective national system of marine protected areas.

Draft framework for developing a national system of MPAs, developed to meet requirements under Executive Order 13158 on Marine Protected Areas. The draft framework provides guidance for collaborative efforts among federal, state, tribal and local governments and MPA stakeholders to develop an effective national system of MPAs from existing sites, enhance MPA coordination and stewardship, and identify ecosystem-based gaps in the protection of important marine natural and cultural resources for possible future action by governmental MPA programs. The framework also provides guiding principles, key definitions, goals, and objectives for the national system.
