Conservation biology

A protected area where harvesting is barred so life recovers

In conservation biology, a sanctuary is an area set aside from exploitation (a no-take marine reserve or terrestrial refuge) so that protected populations can recover and spill over into surrounding habitat. Weeks, Russ, Alcala, and White's assessment of Philippine marine protected areas, many of them locally designated “fish sanctuaries,” found that even small community-managed closures can raise fish biomass inside their borders. The referent is a spatially bounded protection measure evaluated by ecological outcome, and it is a different construct from a sacred place of refuge or an immigration-policy jurisdiction, sharing only the idea of a space shielded from the normal reach of exploitation.[1]

Unit
A bounded area where harvesting or disturbance is prohibited to protect populations
Recovery means
Recovery is the goal and the metric: rebuilding of abundance and biomass inside the protected area and spillover beyond it
Measured by
Measured by inside-versus-outside and before-after comparisons of population density, biomass, and diversity

Political theory

A jurisdiction that limits cooperation with federal enforcement

In contemporary political and legal theory, a sanctuary city or jurisdiction is a locality that limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, for example by declining to hold people for transfer or to share certain information. Hoye analyses the sanctuary city through the republican idea of liberty as non-domination, arguing that such policies aim to shield residents from the arbitrary power of enforcement rather than simply to obstruct the law. The referent is a sub-national policy stance toward a central government's enforcement authority, studied through law and political theory, and it is a distinct construct from a sacred asylum or an ecological reserve, linked only by the shared notion of a protected space.[2]

Unit
A jurisdiction's policy of limiting cooperation with central-government enforcement
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Compared through the content of local ordinances and policies and their legal and political effects
