Science Knows the Answers for Fishing but Politicians Are Acting the Wrong Way

Journal Title: International Journal of Aquaculture and Fishery Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Marine Protected Areas (MPA’s) in the World are small and, more often than not, badly managed. In fact, the total area of MPA’s is not bigger than that of South Africa. However, if we remove MPA’s where some kind of traditional fishing is allowed that total is about the size of Holland – which means next to zero [1].
