Marine and Terrestrial Protected Areas Go Hand in Hand
- "A recent paper in the journal BioScience argues that, because coral reefs and other coastal marine ecosystems effectively extend into adjacent watersheds, they should be managed as an integrated unit. Marine protected areas alone, the paper states, 'will miss their targets of resource protection unless coupled terrestrial protected areas (TPAs) are established and enforced. Simply put, TPAs combined with MPAs create effective resource protection areas.'"- excerpt from this SeaWeb web page.
