A Griffith-led study has developed a model to predict the success of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) based on historical fishing pressure and environmental conditions like wave exposure and distance to coastal habitats. The study, published in Marine Policy, modeled the biomass of fish at 57 sites inside MPAs in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, and used the model to predict the recovery of marine protection zones.
