I think it may be important for this panel to look at.... Each MPA is established based on conservation targets or objectives. Minimum standards may be different for all of them or for some categories of MPAs, and certainly expert advice would be welcome. Are we protecting habitats? Are we protecting sponges or corals, or are we protecting the whole area from some human activities? I imagine the minimum standards would be different, although some minimum standards can be applied to all MPAs and some cannot.
