Overview

Systematic review reveals key success indicators like biodiversity and effective governance in MPAs.

Key Points

  • Improved biological features such as coral cover and fish biomass indicate successful marine protected areas.
  • The common success indicators evaluated include catch per unit effort and species composition.
  • Stakeholders' involvement and good governance are essential factors for MPA success.
  • Ecological improvements manifest in higher catch rates in surrounding areas due to spill-over effects.
