Aligning climate-smart marine spatial planning and ecoscape restoration for global biodiversity recovery
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 20 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00116-yMarine spatial planning (MSP) and ecosystem restoration are effective approaches to address marine and coastal biodiversity loss and meet Global Biodiversity Framework targets, but have been applied separately to date. This Perspective outlines how ecoscape restoration and climate-smart MSP can be aligned to deliver reciprocal benefits and accelerate biodiversity recovery.
