Panama Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are designated regions in the ocean where human activities are regulated to conserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity. These areas aim to protect habitats such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds, which are crucial for various marine species. MPAs help sustain fish populations and promote healthy ocean environments. The government of Panama has established several MPAs, including the Coiba National Park and the Gulf of Chiriquí Marine National Park. These protected areas not only support conservation efforts but also promote ecotourism, allowing visitors to experience the rich marine life while contributing to local economies.
