This paper reviews literature relating to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and human well-being. It finds that explicit studies on human well-being from MPAs are limited and empirical studies quantifying these relationships are rare. Most MPA papers, including those examining MPA effectiveness, focus on just a few aspects of well-being in the context of a sub-set of stakeholders, and consider only a single type of MPA. They mostly focus on conventional objective measures that are not comprehensive or systematically selected. This review argues for a systematic and integrative framework to ensure future MPA assessments are equipped to capture MPAs’ contributions to human well-being more adequately and comprehensively. Such a framework can also allow for cross-MPA comparisons that can capture differences in well-being across different types of MPAs, and information gained can be useful for MPA practitioners and policy makers, particularly in reaching current global targets, such as the CBD, Aichi Target 11.

本文回顾了有关海洋保护区（MPA）和人类福祉的文献。研究发现，MPA对人类福祉的明确研究是有限的，而量化这些关系的实证研究却很少。大多数MPA论文，包括那些审查MPA有效性的论文，都只关注利益相关者子集范围内的福利的几个方面，并且只考虑一种MPA。他们主要集中在没有综合或系统地选择的常规客观措施上。这项审查主张建立一个系统的综合框架，以确保将来的MPA评估能够更充分，更全面地掌握MPA对人类福祉的贡献。这样的框架还可以进行跨MPA的比较，以比较不同类型的MPA在福祉方面的差异，
