由于人们认识到海洋保护区在保护生物多样性、增加鱼类资源和加强沿海社区粮食安全方面的作用，最近实施海洋保护区进行渔业管理的情况有所增加。然而，目前尚不清楚海洋保护区是否会限制海洋资源的可用性，并降低总体粮食安全和人民的健康。在所罗门群岛的罗维亚纳泻湖，我们对有海洋保护区的村庄和没有海洋保护区的村庄进行了交叉比较，以评估海洋保护区是否影响当地对治理、环境变化、生计战略以及实际人类营养和健康的看法。结果表明，具有有效MPA的村庄居民的能量和蛋白质摄入量高于没有MPA或无效MPA的村庄居民。我们的结论是，“禁止捕捞”的海洋保护区不会产生不利影响，如果海洋保护区得到有效维持，它们可以改善当地的营养和健康。
The implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) for fisheries management has increased recently due to the perceived role of MPAs in conserving biodiversity, increasing fish stocks, and enhancing the food security of coastal communities. However, it is unclear whether MPAs may restrict the availability of marine resources and decrease overall food security and the health of the people. In the Roviana Lagoon of the Solomon Islands, we conducted cross-comparisons of villages with MPAs and a village without an MPA to assess whether MPAs influenced local perceptions of governance, environmental change, livelihood strategies, and actual human nutrition and health. Results showed that residents of villages with effective MPAs had higher energy and protein intake than those who had no MPA or an ineffective MPA. We conclude that "no-take"marine reserves do not have adverse effects and that when MPAs are effectively sustained they may enhance local nutrition and health.
