  abstract = {{I}ncreasing the size and number of marine protected areas ({MPA}s) is widely seen as a way to meet ambitious biodiversity and sustainable development goals. {Y}et, debate still exists on the effectiveness of {MPA}s in achieving ecological and societal objectives. {A}lthough the literature provides significant evidence of the ecological effects of {MPA}s within their boundaries, much remains to be learned about the ecological and social effects of {MPA}s on regional and seascape scales. {K}ey to improving the effectiveness of {MPA}s, and ensuring that they achieve desired outcomes, will be better monitoring that includes ecological and social data collected inside and outside of {MPA}s. {T}his can lead to more conclusive evidence about what is working, what is not, and why. {E}ight authors were asked to write about their experiences with {MPA} effectiveness. {T}he authors were instructed to clearly define "effectiveness" and discuss the degree to which they felt {MPA}s had achieved or failed to be effective. {E}ssays were exchanged among authors and each was invited to write a shorter "counterpoint." {T}he exercise shows that, while experiences are diverse, many authors found common ground regarding the role of {MPA}s in achieving conservation targets. {T}his exchange of perspectives is intended to promote reflection, analysis, and dialogue as a means for improving {MPA} design, assessment, and integration with other conservation tools.},
