Marine Protected Areas 108 images Created 13 Feb 2018

More and more countries are starting to realize the importance of proper management of marine resources, with South
Africa being at the forefront of developing long-term strategies for the conservation of marine resources. One of these
strategies is to make use of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The implementation of marine protected areas is a management strategy that has been employed worldwide, not only to address many of the threats to marine and coastal ecosystems, but also to meet a wide range of human needs, such as; education, fisheries management, recreation, income generation and research. Broadly defined, a Marine Protected Area is an area of sea and/or coastline that is especially dedicated to the protection and
maintenance of biodiversity and natural and cultural resources through being managed in a structured and legal manner.
