The Philippine marine protected area (MPA) database

Marine Protected Areas (MPA) are designated areas offering various protections to the oceans and / or estuaries. They are designed to promote responsible fishery management and habitat protection. Marine protected areas can include social and biological objectives such as coral reef restoration, aesthetics, biodiversity, economic benefits. However, in the survey in Indonesia, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea, there was no big difference between the MPA site and the unprotected site. In addition, due to lack of community involvement, conflict between government and fisheries perspectives, regional effectiveness and funding, they may cause conflicts. In cases like the Phoenix Islands Protected Area, the income provided by the Marine Protected Area may be equal to the income they produce without control.

One of the important ways to protect the marine ecosystem is the Marine Protected Area (MPA). Marine protected areas were established to protect rich marine life and the environment. In addition, these designated areas will help protect barren, endangered, rare or endangered species and populations, and protect important species habitats I will. Various marine protected areas (such as sand bars, tidal flats, lagoons, coral reefs) and protected species combinations (such as Seven Mile, Bottlenolka, Red Sea Sea Turtle etc) are based on the needs and nature of different countries. Several parts of Europe, including Dogger Bank, West Water of Amrum / Sylt, West Ireland Sea, etc., are currently selected as marine protected areas. An example of the application of marine protected areas is due to the fishery where the area is close to fishing gear or fishing boat or target species.
