🐟 Thought no-fishing zones only helped permanent residents? Well think again. @MedoffSarah and @JenniferRaynor_ demonstrate the spillover benefits for migrating fish >>> bit.ly/3sxSNLq

In @ScienceMagazine:  "Now scientists have found that the reserve, which spans 1.5m sq km (580,000 sq miles) and is inhabited by whales and turtles, has brought unexpected benefits to the surrounding ocean." 📝 Story by @karenmcveigh1 theguardian.com/environment/20…

🐠 Researchers @MedoffSarah and @JenniferRaynor_ from @uhmanoa are the first to show that #no-fishingzones can benefit migratory fish species 🚫🎣 bit.ly/3zgurts

On this week's @scifri, @MedoffSarah further discusses that interesting tuna study coming out of Papahanaumokuakea, marine protections and commercial fishing: sciencefriday.com/segments/hawai…

🐟Next, some good news for conservation and tuna fishermen in Hawai'i. On #SciFriLive📻, @MedoffSarah shares how a no-fishing zone in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument has allowed tuna populations to thrive, providing benefits to local fishermen. sciencefriday.com/segments/hawai…

My latest story for @NatGeo, inspired by a @ScienceMagazine study by John Lynham, @MedoffSarah and @JenniferRaynor_ presenting solid evidence to suggest that tuna populations @HawaiiReef are recovering. nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

The USA and other countries have committed to protecting 30% of their ocean areas by 2030. We find that the large up front costs of closing areas to fishing can pay off in the future through higher catch. tinyurl.com/MPABenefits #MPA #30by30

The world's largest no-fishing zone, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, increased catch rates in nearby waters by 54% for #yellowfin tuna and 12% for #bigeye tuna. Tuna fishing is a $40 billion industry and supports millions of jobs globally. tinyurl.com/MPABenefits #MPA

We show for the first time that carefully placed marine protected areas can help to restore #tuna and other large, iconic species. Published in @ScienceMagazine at tinyurl.com/MPABenefits. Research with @MedoffSarah and John Lynham @uhmanoa. @UWMadisonCALS, @UW_FWEcology #MPA
