This handbook aims to help managers of coastal areas, in particular those of coastal marine protected areas (MPAs), understand and apply the concept of connectivity in their work. It discusses in detail what causes connectivity, how to use connectivity in management, the science of connectivity and integrating connectivity with management today. The handbook is clearly laid out and uses straightforward language to explain a relatively complex subject.
