Habitats.....................................................................................................................................................25 Protect at least 20% of each major habitat in NTZs......................................................................................... 25 Replicate Habitats (Spread the Risk).........................................................................................................................27 Protect at least three examples of each major habitat type in NTZs, and......................................................... 27 Spread them out to reduce the chances theywill all be affected bythe same disturbance.................................27 Protect Critical, Special and Unique Areas............................................................................................................... 27 Protect critical areas in the lifehistoryof focal fisheries species in NTZs...........................................................27 Protect critical areas or habitats for charismatic, endangered, threatened or protected species..........................29 Protect special and unique natural phenomena in NTZs.................................................................................... 33 Protect areas that are important at the national, international or global scale for conservation or management of focal

large enough to contain all habitats used by focal species throughout their lifehistory; or establish networks of NTZs close enough to allow formovements of focal species among protected habitats...................................................................................................................... 40 Include whole ecological units in NTZs. If not, choose larger rather than smaller areas..................................... 42 Use compact shapes for NTZs, except when protecting naturallyelongated habitats.........................................42 Consider Larval Dispersal..................................................................................................................................... 42 Establish: NTZs large enough to be self-sustaining for focal species, or networks of NTZs close enough to be connected bylarval dispersal................................................................................................45 Protect spatiallyisolated areas in NTZs............................................................................................................
