This month’s Ocean Watch Essay, contributed by Rachel Keyon, senior ocean policy fellow, Marine Conservation Institute, focuses on marine protected areas (MPAs) – what they are, where they are located, why they are important and who they benefit. MPAs, also called marine parks, marine refuges, marine reserves, and marine sanctuaries, are used to conserve the ocean – ecologically, historically, and/or culturally – to allow species to thrive.
The ocean and local waters face many threats that range from pollution to overfishing and destructive fishing practices, and from climate change to ocean acidification. Fortunately, some areas of the ocean are untouched by humans which provides protection against these threats. MPAs provide refuges where marine life is protected from some or all human pressures allowing marine environments to grow, thrive, and replenish the broader ocean. The benefits of MPAs to marine ecosystem and coastal communities include allowing marine species to recover, and protecting essential marine habitats from destructive fishing practices.
Countries around the world have embraced the use of MPAs to protect their coastal oceans and marine life, and some nations have even gone so far as to designate large portions of their exclusive economic zones as marine protected areas, such as Chagos Island in the Indian Ocean and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The regulations and names associated with each MPA and its protections vary wildly. For example, no-take MPAs are firmly enforced and prohibit extractive uses and human activities such as commercial and recreational fishing. Others are minimally restrictive with only moderate restrictions on specific ecological threats like oil drilling or bottom trawling. One of the biggest threats to MPAs is people who fail to follow regulations either purposefully or unknowingly.
