Implementation of Marine Protected Areas Human activities threaten the sustainability of marine biodiversity and ecosystems. To address human impacts Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) may be established as countermeasures. MPAs are government involved programs that target areas facing the most marine wildlife threats. Maintenance of MPAs requires involvement from government at the federal and local level, fishing agencies, and stakeholders. MPAs aim to preserve marine habitats by placing restrictions on human involvement and industry practices. MPAs are necessary to balance community livelihood and industry profit without placing irreversible strain on marine habitats. MPAs prevent overfishing, support tourism growth, and can be sustained with…
Some areas are managed properly, others have little to no regulation. We now know without a doubt that the fish in the ocean are a finite resource and this resource is decreasing rapidly in numbers every year. Many marine scientists now believe that overfishing is the biggest threat to the ocean environment, even greater than that of other human caused disruptions like increased pollution. The…
Ecotourism is closely linked to the preservation and conservation of natural areas. This paper will look at two regions, the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) in Nepal and the Mkomazi National Park in Tanzania. The two regions have both implemented conservation initiatives, and have a strong relationship with tourism.

Dziadzio, Smith, Chandler, and Castleberry (2016) did a research on how the location of the gopher nest could affect its survival. They found that nests that were away from the burrow in sandy areas survived more than the ones in burrow aprons. They also learned that the nests that were in places that burned up during the research had a very low survival (Dziadzio et al., 2016). Many research studies are being done to find ways to change the environment to help prevent the extinction of the…
