Abstract 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.

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.
