MPAs in the Caribbean

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Caribbean are designated sections of ocean where human activities are managed to conserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity. These zones help protect coral reefs, fish populations, and other marine life from overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. MPAs support healthy, resilient ecosystems that benefit local communities through improved fisheries and tourism. They are important tools for sustainable ocean use, balancing ecological health with economic interests, and ensuring that Caribbean waters remain vibrant and productive for future generations.
