The Former Pelagic Longline Fishery of a Large‐Scale Marine Protected Area
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater EcosystemsABSTRACTThe establishment of large‐scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs) has emerged as one of the defining trends in ocean conservation over recent decades. To assess the potential benefits of such designations, it is necessary to understand the nature of the threats that have been excluded.
