Frequent locations of oceanic fronts as an indicator of pelagic diversity: Application to marine protected areas and renewables
Abstract
Frequent locations of thermal fronts in UK shelf seas were identified using an archive of 30,000 satellite images acquired between 1999 and 2008, and applied as a proxy for pelagic diversity in the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).

Many pelagic biodiversity hotspots are related to fronts, for example...
