A Marine Protected Area (MPA) is a section of the ocean where human activities are restricted to conserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity. These areas are established to protect habitats, species, and cultural resources, allowing ecosystems to thrive and recover from human impacts. MPAs can vary in size and level of protection, ranging from fully protected zones to areas with regulated fishing and tourism. MPAs play a crucial role in sustaining fish populations and preserving the health of marine environments. They help maintain ecological balance and can enhance the resilience of marine life against threats like climate change and pollution. By safeguarding these areas, we support the overall health of our oceans and the livelihoods of communities that depend on them.
