(MPA) in 2010; it covers 550 000 km2, with more than 60 000 km2 shallow limestone …

Here we review the population, community, and evolutionary consequences of marine
reserves. Responses at each level depend on the tendency of fisheries to target larger body …

Sustainably managing ecosystems is challenging, especially for complex systems such as
coral reefs. This study develops critical reference points for sustainable management by …

Marine reserves are a key tool for the conservation of marine biodiversity, yet only~ 2.5% of
the world's oceans are protected. The integration of marine reserves into connected …

Conservation designations such as protected areas are increasing in numbers around the
world, yet it is widely reported that many are failing to reach their objectives. They are …

Abstract Aim Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly implemented to conserve or
restore coral reef biodiversity, yet evidence of their benefits for enhancing coral cover is …

No‐take marine reserves are increasingly popular tools for conservation and fisheries
management. While much attention has been paid to evaluating the effects of design …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely used for ocean conservation, yet the relative
impacts of various types of MPAs are poorly understood. We estimated impacts on fish …

The adoption of fisheries closures and gear restrictions in the conservation of coral reefs
may be limited by poor understanding of the economic profitability of competing economic …
