Abstract

In line with an increased international focus on marine protected areas (MPAs) as one of the means whereby the dual objectives of marine conservation and fisheries management can be achieved, South Africa has embarked on a national policy of expanding its MPAs. South Africa now has 24 MPAs of which 23 are on the coast and one, Prince Edward Islands, is an offshore MPA.
