Marine protected area
Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans or large lakes. MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.Marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, or national authorities and differ substantially among nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life.In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.The largest marine protected areas are in the Indian and Pacific Oceans around the territorial waters of certain British Overseas Territories and Territories of the United States. As of 2014, more than 6,500 MPAs encompassed 2.09% of the world's oceans. The September 2014 expansion of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument increased MPA coverage to over 2%, with 0.83% in strongly protected no-take marine reserves. In March 2015, the government of the United Kingdom announced funding for the creation of the largest contiguous marine protected reserve in the world around the Pitcairn Islands.
