Marine protected areas need to be established to ensure sustainable utilization of these resources for the benefit of all citizens! Let's also ensure that protection is in fact enforced, and that these areas do not just exist on paper.

The minimum commitment by the South African government is 10% protection of our coastal waters by 2020 (Aichi Target 11 of the Convention on Biological Diversity)

MPA's are extremely important, not only for the marine life that it supports but also to maintain sustainability of harvesting from the ocean for our own populations
