Marine protected areas (MPAs) are globally important environmental management tools that
provide protection from the effects of human exploitation and activities, supporting the …

Abstract Background Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) encompass a range of protection
levels, from fully protected no-take areas to restriction of only particular activities, gear types …

Benefits for fisheries from marine protected areas (MPAs) are expected from recruitment of
exported eggs and larvae as well as from spillover of adults to adjacent fishing grounds …

The establishment of marine protected areas (MPA s), particularly of no‐take areas, is often
viewed as a conflict between conservation and fishing. Partially protected areas (PPA s) that …

We assessed the development of the exploited fish community inside and around the

The success of MPAs in conserving fishing resources and protecting marine biodiversity
relies strongly on how well they meet their planned (or implicit) management goals. From a …
