Abstract | Spatial planning units (PU) in the CS2. PUs are the basic spatial units on which based a reserve spatial planning. The IBRM and its Area of Influence cover three aquatic realms: freshwater, coastal (land and sea) and open ocean. Different size and shape of the PUs across different realms: PUs in the freshwater ecosystems were the river sub-catchments derived from HydroSHEDS level 12 (Lehner & Grill, 2013; WWF, 2017). PUs of the marine realm were represented through a grid of 10 km x 10 km, whereas the coastal PUs (10km buffer from the shoreline) grid was 1 km x 1 km. |
