Marine reserves can't do it all: Sea otters vs. red abalone

r at the sites without sea otters (7.2 vs. 3.7 inches; the legal limit for harvest is 7 inches).

This work shows that "calls for management of marine protected areas for multiple human uses may be ecologically naive, creating unattainable expectations for performance," say Fanshawe and her colleagues. The researchers call instead for single-use marine reserves that focus either on ecosystem restoration or on fishery development. This approach has been adopted in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, where managers have split a former multiple-use protected area into smaller areas with goals that are less likely to conflict.
