Proportion of regional connectivity hotspots identified by the multiplex network analysis for all centrality metrics and distance thresholds that intersect (1) existing MPAs, and (2) existing and potential MPAs in the Northern Shelf Bioregion

Type of hotspot	15 km distance threshold		50 km distance threshold
	Betweenness	Eigenvector	Betweenness	Eigenvector
Existing MPAs
Network hub	0.30	a	0.35	0.61
Highly participatoryb	0.49	0.49	0.45	0.45
Any hotspot	0.46	0.49	0.44	0.48
Existing and potential MPAs

Highly participatoryb	0.81	0.81	0.80	0.80
Any hotspot	0.79	0.81	0.79	0.78

The centrality metrics used were betweenness and eigenvector centrality; the distance thresholds used were 15 and 50 km.

^aNo inferred connectivity hotspots were identified.

^bThere is one set of highly participatory planning units for each distance threshold.
