Marine Protected Areas provide human benefits too
- "...MPAs that are well-established, no-take and well-enforced had more positive human effects on well-being. This aligns well with findings from ecological studies and highlights that MPAs can benefit both biodiversity and people... The most positive well-being outcomes related to enhanced community involvement (76% positive), increases in fisheries catch per unit effort (73%) and increases in income (65%). The most negative outcomes manifested through increasing costs of fishing (100%, though only 13 instances found in the literature) and conflict (79%)."- Excerpt from University of Victoria
