These two studies do not contradict each other but reinforce the desperate need to get strongly regulated and strictly enforced MPAs in place - not just boxes on a map with little effect

How is that possible? Quite simple - the second paper only looks at a small subset of strictly regulated MPAs. They have good enforcement, and may never had any fishing in the first place - so very little occurs there now

The first paper finds a lot of industrial fishing in all coastal MPAs, which is alarming because there does not seem to be much protection at all: buff.ly/S9IIg0t
