I learned from reading the Save Our Shores website today that there are four types of marine protected areas.
- Marine Reserve: No Fishing is allowed in these areas
- Marine Conservation Area: Limits commercial and recreational fishing to protect a specific habitat or resource.
- Marine Park: Prohibits commercial fishing but allows most recreational fishing.
- Marine Recreational Management Area: Limits commercial and recreational fishing to protect a specific habitat or resource
You can help support marine protected areas by signing the petition that will protect and preserve these treasured marine habitats and underwater ecosytems.
