Scientific evidence recognizes the importance of MPAs and their contribution to the overall objectives of marine conservation. However, it has recently begun to highlight their potential as tools to contribute to mitigation and adaptation efforts against climate change, and the urgent need to make changes in public policies to recognize and strengthen this link, especially to fight against effects such as:. Increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Increasing storms and other extreme weather events. Reduction of oceanic productivity. Changes in environmental conditions.
