Add a range of conservation processes, potentially partitioning with SDGIO.

@miriamgrace please add definitions and references for forms of conservation relevant to our MPA project

To be updated: "buffer zone" "ecosystem/wildlife corridor" - NB this will be an odd but possibly useful concept in marine ecosystems. See "connectivity", which may be qualified as "seascape connectivity", see e.g. this paper "landscape" "seascape" "invasive species" "artificial reef" "fisheries" "fishing rights" "tenure". The rights to fish in a particular area, e.g. lagoon or reef. "marine spatial planning" "Good Environmental Status" "ecosystem-based management" "integrated coastal zone management" "thermal refugia" - see e.g. Magris, Rafael A., et al. "Integrating connectivity and climate change into marine conservation planning." Biological Conservation 170 (2014): 207-221. and the references therein "disturbance" "restoration" "umbrella species" "keystone species" "flagship species" "assemblage" "transect" "Locally Managed Marine Area" Mentioned here
