Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) are sites identified as globally important for bird species conservation. Marine IBAs are one of the few comprehensive multi‐species datasets available for the marine environment, and their use in conservation planning will likely increase as countries race to protect 10% of their territorial waters by 2020. We tested 15 planning scenarios for Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone to guide best practice on integrating marine IBAs into spatial conservation prioritization. We found prioritizations based solely on habitat protection failed to protect IBAs, and prioritizations based solely on IBAs similarly failed to meet basic levels of habitat representation. Further, treating all marine IBAs as irreplaceable sites produced the most inefficient plans in terms of ecological representativeness and protection equality. Our analyses suggest that marine spatial planners who wish to use IBAs treat them like any other conservation feature by assigning them a specific protection target.

在空间保护优先领域中对海洋重要鸟类和生物多样性地区的评价

重要鸟类和生物多样性区(IBA)是被确定为对鸟类保护至关重要的全球场所。海洋IBA是为海洋环境提供的为数不多的综合性多物种数据集之一,随着各国争相在2020年之前保护其10%的领水,其在保护规划中的用途可能会增加。我们测试了15种澳大利亚独家经济计划方案该区域指导将海洋IBA纳入空间保护优先级的最佳实践。我们发现,仅基于栖息地保护的优先级无法保护IBA,而仅基于IBA的优先级同样无法满足栖息地代表性的基本水平。进一步,就生态代表性和保护平等而言,将所有海洋IBA视为不可替代的地点,产生的计划效率最低。我们的分析表明,希望使用IBA的海洋空间规划人员可以通过为它们指定特定的保护目标,来像对待其他任何保护功能一样对待它们。
