Description: Source: Brenner, J., C. Voight, and D. Mehlman. 2016. Migratory Species in the Gulf of Mexico Large Marine Ecosystem: Pathways, Threats and Conservation. The Nature Conservancy, Arlington, 93 pp. Description: The protected and other managed areas in the Gulf of Mexico LME were overlaid with the marine multispecies corridors in GIS. Protected and managed areas used in this analysis include national parks, national marine sanctuaries, national forest, national wildlife refuges, state parks, state wildlife management areas, and private protected areas owned by the Conservancy, Audubon, and land trusts. Protected areas in the United States, Mexico, and Cuba where obtained from national databases such as Protected Areas Database of the United States (USGS 2012), Cobertura de las Areas Protegidas Federales de México (CONANP 2014), and World Database on Protected Areas (IUCN and UNEP-WCMC 2015), respectively. Other managed areas such as the Conservancy’s private preserves and management areas (The Nature Conservancy 2015b) and state wildlife management areas were obtained from a variety of sources. This analysis identified areas of corridors that are protected or under other types of management. A Tabular Intersection Analysis in GIS was conducted to determine the percentage of each species’ migratory corridor located in protected areas. This same analysis was used to calculate the percentage of each species’ aggregation areas and highest movement density (top 25 percent of movement from movement density analysis) located in protected areas.
