Marine protected areas boost biodiversity in and between reserves

"Marine protected areas reduce fish mortality by limiting harvesting and reducing habitat destruction. They are often designed and implemented to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable fisheries. New research shows these conservation efforts lead not only to an increase in the total number of fishes (individuals) in general... [but] also harbour a higher number of common fish species, and significant positive network effects accumulate between individual reserves." - Excerpt from German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research
