Figure 1 What we should expect from networks of no-take marine reserves (NTMRs) depends on their fishery context. In many developing countries, like in Manus Province, Papua New Guinea, fishers target dozens of species, many of which perform critical functions (e.g. herbivory) that keep coral reefs healthy. In contrast, fishers in developed countries target a limited number of highly prized, large, predatory species such as coral trout within Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. As a result, in developed countries NTMRs primarily affect fishery species, whereas in developing countries, NTMRs affect both fishery species and biodiversity (Photo: Glenn Almany).
