What Marine Protected Areas Really Mean
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) sound like safe zones for sea life, but many allow fishing, trawling, and other extractive activities. Understanding the levels of ocean protection is key if you care about marine conservation, sustainable fishing, and the future of our seas.
