Yet, as in static systems, many pelagic species use predictable habitats to breed and forage. Marine protected areas (MP...
متن کاملModelling marine protected areas: insights and hurdles.
Models provide useful insights into conservation and resource management issues and solutions. Their use to date has highlighted conditions under which no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) may help us to achieve the goals of ecosystem-based management by reducing pressures, and where they might fail to achieve desired goals. For example, static reserve designs are unlikely to achieve desired o...
