The effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) for biodiversity protection and informing fisheries management will be investigated at a continental scale for the first time. Communities of fishes, invertebrates and plants at >100 sites within MPAs in WA, NSW and Tasmania will be studied from prior to fisheries protection, with changes over time compared with changes at fished reference sites. This study represents a human predator exclusion experiment with a scale sufficiently large to distinguish general patterns from among site specific and species specific variability. It will provide management authorities with information crucial to determining MPA number, size and configuration.

将首次在大陆范围内调查海洋保护区在保护生物多样性和为渔业管理提供信息方面的有效性。将研究西澳大利亚、新南威尔士州和塔斯马尼亚州海洋保护区内100个地点的鱼类、无脊椎动物和植物群落，与渔业保护前相比，随着时间的变化与捕捞参考点的变化相比较。这项研究代表了一个人类捕食者排斥实验，其规模足够大，以区分特定地点和特定物种的变异性之间的一般模式。它将向管理当局提供对确定MPA数量、大小和配置至关重要的信息。
