There is a section on data handling and storage of results on page 14 of this resource. It covers data storage, analysis and reporting. There is also a discussion of the importance in involving the public in the dissemination of the results which can be a key factor in determining the success of protected areas.

How is your MPA Doing?
This guidebook offers managers and other conservation practitioners a process and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for the purposes of Adaptive Management. The evaulation is based on indicators that measure the effectiveness of management actions in attaining goals and objectives that are specific to MPAs, the marine environment and coastal communities.

Data Analysis & Interpretation
Data analysis and interpretation are part of the evaluation aspect of adaptive management, the process for conserving, protecting, and, where appropriate, restoring lands, waters and other resources in a protected area. Adaptive management is often defined as a system of management practices based upon clearly identified outcomes, where monitoring evaluates whether management actions are achieving desired results (objectives).
