Original: "'Protection is working': Madeira scientists study how fishing bans are restoring ocean life" # Oceans # Fish # Environm
Scientists in Madeira are studying marine protected areas where fishing bans have been imposed, and their research indicates that ocean life is recovering as a result. The findings are summarised in the phrase that protection is working, pointing to growing fish populations and healthier ecosystems in the protected waters around the Portuguese Atlantic island.
Why now: Evidence that marine protected areas actually work is encouraging news for ocean conservation debates.
