Coral Reefs and the Global Network of Marine Protected Areas

By Web Admin on 10/3/2006 | Keyword(s): Mpa publications

Mora et al. provides a critique of MPA networks globally. Based on prior work that suggests MPAs be at least 10km2 and 15km apart, we need 2559 additional MPAs. These results demonstrate the need for more MPAs of quality that can help protect species within their ranges and be close enough together that larval dispersal between MPAs can occur.
