Approximately how many MPA's are there?

• 72418

• 42781

• 15032

• 18427

Estuary environments are important to protect because they provide ​ (a)   grounds, are used by many species for ​ (b)   events and subsequently become important ​ (c)   for juvenile fish

• Feeding
• Spawning
• Nurseries
• Sporting
• Fishing
• Netting

Spacing is an important criteria for resilient MPA design because...
