| الوصف: | Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are key tools in addressing the global decline of sharks and rays, with "marine parks" and "shark sanctuaries" of various configurations established to conserve shark populations. There is also a rapidly growing body of telemetry research used to assess MPA performance in shark protection. However, assessments of MPA efficacy in shark and ray conservation are compromised by inconsistent terminology, a lack of standardised approaches to assess how MPAs contribute to the overall conservation of sharks and rays, and ambiguity about integrating movement data into assessment processes. This paper presents a conceptual framework that standardises key terms and uses the concept of Portfolio Risk to fully describe how an MPA may contribute to shark and ray conservation. The framework also demonstrates how movement data can be integrated into the process and presents eight key questions that provide guidance for applying the framework. Understanding an MPA's contribution to shark and ray protection requires explicit consideration of the assessment scope, MPA type and purpose, the range of existing and potential threats, the species biology and ecology, and management and operational contexts. Ultimately, MPA contributions to shark and ray conservation differ according to a complex set of human and natural factors and interactions which should be carefully considered in MPA design, implementation and evaluation. Article Impact statement: Standardization of key terms and use of the portfolio risk concept describe how protected areas contribute to shark and ray conservation.
