Marine protected area (MPA) networks are likely to be most effective in preserving a wide range of marine biodiversity when they are designed to be ecologically representative, containing samples of all of the different habitats present in a given region of the ocean. Mapping oceanic environments and assessing the environmental representativeness of MPAs is thus of central importance to global marine conservation. This is especially important in areas where information on MPA networks and oceanic environments is scarce or not publicly available, as is the case in China. This study explored the use of remote sensing technology to assess the environmental representation of China's MPA network as of 2015 across the extent of China's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Satellite information on sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, chlorophyll a levels, and water depth across China's EEZ was collected from Nasa's Near Earth Observatory database and used to create broad environmental clusters across the study area. A database of Chinese MPAs was also compiled from a review of Chinese government sources, scientific literature, and independent websites. These MPAs were then mapped over the EEZ's environmental clusters, and the percentage coverage by area of each cluster was calculated. This study found that a number of distinct environments in China's nearshore shallow waters and deep southern waters are represented with greater than 10% coverage by area in MPAs. The methodology developed in this study presents an efficient and highly adaptable approach to environmental representation assessment. Furthermore, the database of Chinese MPAs compiled in this study is, to our knowledge, the most complete and detailed list of Chinese MPA network to be made available abroad, providing a wealth of new information on the scope and characteristics of the country's marine conservation program.
