Given the economic, social and environmental value of the marine environment it makes sense to manage it in a way that ensures long term sustainability of both ecosystems and human uses. We can only do this if we understand the impact that human activities and management practises have on marine systems, including people. Spatial management measures such as fishery closures, marine protected areas and marine plans have emerged as a core component of the UK's marine management portfolio. In essence, spatial management aims to incorporate the diversity of human uses, consider the compatibility of different activities, and balance use with the impacts of these activities on biodiversity and people. Yet despite the extensive use of spatial management, substantial gaps in understanding exist regarding how to monitor the impacts of spatial management measures and evaluate their effectiveness across environmental, social and economic outcomes.Our research aims to systematically bring together the available evidence on existing and emerging environmental, social and economic techniques for monitoring the effects of spatial management measures and evaluating their effectiveness. In particular we will focus on examples from countries with a coastline and in a similar socio-economic and political context to the UK. By clearly and transparently describing this evidence, we will be able to explore understanding surrounding methods for how to monitor and evaluate spatial management measures, and inform the development of guidelines and future monitoring and evaluation practises across the UK.Our findings, in the form of a database, will be published alongside an article in the open-access journal Environmental Evidence, providing a highly accessible, freely available summary of the evidence. We will also produce a one-page policy summary, to disseminate our results to decision-makers, and a set of guidelines for use to facilitate application of our database. By making these outputs publicly available and easy to use we will give our work a lasting legacy beyond the life of the project. For example, researchers will be able to easily update and build on our database as desired or design research to fill evidence gaps, and decision-makers will be able to easily locate evidence of relevance to inform their monitoring and management activities. We will involve key stakeholders through our Stakeholder Group in the design of our project and discuss our results with them to ensure they are used to help inform spatial management in the UK.The evidence base collated within this project is anticipated to benefit a wide range of sectors and users of the marine environment, as well as nature conservation and academic research. These benefits will extend beyond the UK to international policy audiences facing similar challenges in determining the impact of their spatial management activities. Our extended review team demonstrates the interdisciplinarity nature of this project being composed of researchers specialising in marine and fisheries management from environmental, social, economic and policy perspectives based across academic and charitable institutions. Our existing Stakeholder Group attests to the value of this project with support from: the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), Marine Scotland Science (MSS), Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs), and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas). We will seek to extend our Stakeholder Group to incorporate all of the UK Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies during the project programme.Keywords: evaluation methods; fishery closure; marine spatial management; marine protected area; marine spatial plan; monitoring methods; systematic map

鉴于海洋环境的经济、社会和环境价值，以确保生态系统和人类利用的长期可持续性的方式对其进行管理是有意义的。只有了解人类活动和管理实践对海洋系统（包括人类）的影响，我们才能做到这一点。诸如关闭渔场、海洋保护区和海洋计划等空间管理措施已成为英国海洋管理组合的核心组成部分。从本质上讲，空间管理的目的是纳入人类利用的多样性，考虑不同活动的兼容性，并平衡利用与这些活动对生物多样性和人类的影响。然而，尽管空间管理得到了广泛应用，但在如何监测空间管理措施的影响和评估其在环境、社会和经济结果方面的有效性方面，仍存在巨大的理解差距。我们的研究旨在系统地汇集现有的和新兴的环境、社会和经济技术的现有证据，以监测空间管理措施的效果并评估其有效性。我们将特别关注与英国有着相似社会经济和政治背景的海岸线国家的例子。通过清晰透明地描述这些证据，我们将能够探索了解如何监测和评估空间管理措施的周围方法，并为英国制定指导方针和未来的监测和评估实践提供信息。我们的发现，以数据库的形式，将与一篇文章一起发表在开放获取期刊《环境证据》上，提供一个高度可获取的、免费的证据摘要。我们亦会制作一份一页的政策摘要，向决策者分发我们的结果，以及一套指引，以方便应用我们的资料库。通过使这些产出公开可用并易于使用，我们将使我们的工作在项目生命周期之外留下持久的遗产。例如，研究人员将能够轻松地根据需要更新和建立我们的数据库，或者设计研究以填补证据空白，决策者将能够轻松地找到相关证据，为他们的监测和管理活动提供信息。我们将通过我们的利益相关者小组让主要利益相关者参与项目设计，并与他们讨论我们的结果，以确保它们被用于帮助英国的空间管理。在这个项目中整理的证据基础预计将有利于海洋环境的广泛部门和使用者，以及自然保护和学术研究。这些好处将扩展到英国以外的国际政策受众，在确定其空间管理活动的影响方面面临类似的挑战。我们的扩展审查小组展示了这个项目的跨学科性质，该项目由来自学术和慈善机构的海洋和渔业管理专家组成，他们从环境、社会、经济和政策的角度进行研究。我们现有的利益相关者小组在环境、食品和农村事务部（Defra）、海洋管理组织（MMO）、苏格兰海洋科学（MSS）、农业、环境和农村事务部（DAERA）、联合自然保护委员会（JNCC）、近海渔业和保护当局（IFCAs）以及环境、渔业和水产养殖科学中心（Cefas）的支持下证明了这个项目的价值。我们将设法扩大我们的利益相关者小组，在项目计划期间纳入所有英国法定自然保护机构。关键词：评价方法；渔业关闭;海洋空间管理；海洋保护区；海洋空间规划；监测方法;系统的地图
