Marine Protection Areas

Marine Protection Areas (MPAs) are special zones in oceans or coastal waters designated to conserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity. They help protect habitats, such as coral reefs and seabeds, from harmful activities like overfishing and pollution. By restricting certain activities, MPAs support fish populations and restore healthy marine environments, benefiting both wildlife and local communities that rely on these resources. Essentially, they serve as safe havens to maintain the ecological balance and ensure sustainable use of marine resources for future generations.
