M ARINE P ROTECTED A REAS (MPA S ) What is an MPA? Is a broad term used to cover marine areas which have some level of management for the protection of living, non-living, cultural and/or historical resources

W HAT ARE THE TYPES OF MPA’ S ? No take MPA’s All organisms living or non-living Species specific MPA’s Certain fish Inverts Algae Limited activity MPAs Recreational use MPA (no extractive activity) Limited gear use MPA (only certain gears allowed) Closed areas (no access)

W HAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MPA’ S Create an environment where resources are allowed to recover. Restrict activities which damages resources, historical and/or cultural sites in a given area. (anchoring, diving, fishing, etc.) Allow fish to recover and replenish areas adjacent to the MPA.

W HAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MPA’ S CONT. General Perspective: MPAs --> Less Fishing Pressure --> Larger Fish - -> Increased Reproduction--> More Fish --> Competition for Space --> Fish Move to Other Areas --> More Larger Fish on the Plate, or to Admire.
