NO This summary for policymakers highlights how marine and coastal area-based management approaches support multiple sustainable development goal targets. The document connects regional and national management policies to broader global frameworks, examining thirty-one case studies across diverse geographical jurisdictions to align distinct spatial measures with integrated global objectives. Methodologically, the analysis outlines seven core attributes—including spatial focus, stakeholder engagement, and the ecosystem approach—to evaluate real-world application efficacy. Key findings demonstrate that area-based strategies successfully facilitate cross-cutting contributions, simultaneously delivering specific marine conservation goals alongside broader socio-economic targets when key enabling conditions like governance, legal frameworks, and funding are secured.
