海洋保护区作为保护和渔业管理工具已得到广泛推广。保护效益已得到充分证明，但渔业效益仍存在争议。我们表明，佛罗里达州（美国）和圣卢西亚的海洋保护区增强了邻近的渔业。在创建的 5 年内，圣卢西亚的五个小型保护区网络将邻近手工渔民的渔获量增加了 46% 至 90%，具体取决于渔民使用的渔具类型。自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，佛罗里达州梅里特岛国家野生动物保护区的保护区为邻近的休闲渔业提供了越来越多的世界纪录大小的鱼类。我们的研究证实了海洋保护区可以在支持渔业方面发挥关键作用的理论预测。
Marine reserves have been widely promoted as conservation and fishery management tools. There are robust demonstrations of conservation benefits, but fishery benefits remain controversial. We show that marine reserves in Florida (United States) and St. Lucia have enhanced adjacent fisheries. Within 5 years of creation, a network of five small reserves in St. Lucia increased adjacent catches of artisanal fishers by between 46 and 90%, depending on the type of gear the fishers used. In Florida, reserve zones in the Merritt island National Wildlife Refuge have supplied increasing numbers of world record-sized fish to adjacent recreational fisheries since the 1970s. Our study confirms theoretical predictions that marine reserves can play a key role in supporting fisheries.
