Currently there are 5,880 Marine Protected Areas (MPA) worldwide, many of which have contributed to a 150% increase in the area of protected marine waters from 2003-2010. Zachary focuses on the world’s largest MPA, the 200 nautical mile Chagos Marine Reserve, during a presentation in Dr. Neil Hammerschlag’s Marine Conservation Biology class.
