Enhancement of fisheries: catastrophic stochastic events: tsunamis, hurricanes, cyclones, disease outbreaks, population booms, no-take reserves, seasonal closures (to protect populations during breading seasons, etc. , marine populations have co-evolved. One of the biggest threats that we manage marine systems for. 75% of the major marine stocks are either depleted, overexploited, or being fished at their biological limit. Oldest marine reserve: the establishment of the. Came after yellowstone but is the first marine park since the intertidal zone was included in the boundary. The great barrier reef marine park was established in 1975 due to the increased development of queensland such as ports and oil exploitation, etc. A clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated, and managed, through legal or other effective means . Conceptually simple: enclose all species and their interactions to prevent impacts from habitat alteration, overfishing, pollution, or exotic species. Baci: before (impact of humans) and then after the implementation of the mpa.
