Ecologies and Identities is an Economic and Social Research Council funded research project based at the University of Bristol Law School. It is a socio-legal project looking at the legal form and implementation of the UKs new marine protected areas (MPAs) network. A network of MPAs is currently being planned in the seas all around the UK to fulfil the requirement of Art 13(4) of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008 . In England and Wales, the legal framework for establishing the MPA network is to be found under under part V of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 and in Scotland under part 5 of the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. The Ecologies and Identities research project explores these legal frameworks, asking what this new direction in conservation law means for people and nature, and how bigger issues like climate change can be integrated into the designation of an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas.
