Marine protected areas
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are geographically distinct zones for which conservation objectives can be set. They are often established in an attempt to strike a balance between ecological constraints and economic activity, so that the seas may continue to allow for goods and services to be delivered. Strictly protected areas are MPAs where human impact is kept to a minimum, e.g. extraction is not permitted.
