One important aspect of marine conservation is the design and designation of marine protected areas (MPAs), which function as sanctuaries or refuges for sea life.One problem with designing MPAs is determining where they should be and what size they should be.Much of this depends on the species you are interested in protecting.For example, what sort of species would be best protected by designing a number of small MPAs that are at some distance from one another?
