  abstract = {1. {C}onnectivity is a crucial process underpinning the persistence, recovery, and productivity of marine ecosystems. {T}he {C}onvention on {B}iological {D}iversity, through the {A}ichi {T}arget 11, has set the ambitious objective of implementing a well connected system of protected areas' by 2020. 2. {T}his paper identifies eight challenges toward the integration of connectivity into {MPA} network management and planning. {A} summary table lists the main recommendations in terms of method, tool, advice, or action to address each of these challenges. {A}uthors belong to a science-management continuum including researchers, international {NGO} officers, and national {MPA} agency members. 3. {T}hree knowledge challenges are addressed: selecting and integrating connectivity measurement metrics; assessing the accuracy and uncertainty of connectivity measurements; and communicating and visualizing connectivity measurements. 4. {T}hree management challenges are described: integrating connectivity into the planning and management of {MPA} networks; setting quantitative connectivity targets; and implementing connectivity-based management across scales and marine jurisdictions. 5. {F}inally, two paths toward a better integration of connectivity science with {MPA} management are proposed: setting management-driven priorities for connectivity research, bridging connectivity science, and {MPA} network management. 6. {T}here is no single method to integrate connectivity into marine spatial planning. {R}ather, an array of methods can be assembled according to the {MPA} network objectives, budget, available skills, data, and timeframe. 7. {O}verall, setting up boundary organizations' should be promoted to organize complex cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral and cross-jurisdiction interactions that are needed between scientists, managers, stakeholders and decision-makers to make informed decision regarding connectivity-based {MPA} planning and management.},
