SUMMARY:

Since the Aichi Target 11 calls for at least 10% of the world’s seas to be conserved through marine protected areas by 2020, there has been an increase in the creation of large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs). Despite advances made towards the area-based components of Aichi Target 11, the biodiversity continues declining globally, along with related decreases in nature's contributions to people. Thus, the challenge for the next decade is to improve the effectiveness of the already existing MPAs to safeguard marine biodiversity and ecological processes. Communication via mass media is a key strategy to advance marine conservation support from the public. Using media content analysis, we examined news on LSMPAs implementation in South Atlantic to understand message framing and to verify a mismatch between the content disclosed by mass media and scientific community. We found that mass media coverage was mostly framed episodic, which focus on specific events (e.g., increase in the percentage of MPAs coverage) and thematic frames, which focus on general trends (e.g., conservation outcomes related to the creation of MPAs). We also found that most of the media coverage of LSMPAs did not address the discussion on the effectiveness of such LSMPAs design raised mainly by scientists, generally disclosing positive issues related to MPAs creation. Mass media can inform people to support or not conservation initiatives. Disclosing a broader picture of the discussions is important to allow people to understand about the advances and difficulties in conservation topics.
