1 Marine Reserves LEGEND State Boundary Sanctuary Boundary State Marine Protected Areas State Marine Reserve State Marine Conservation Area Kilometers

2 What is a marine reserve? Places in the ocean that are completely & permanently protected from uses that remove plants & animals or alter their habitats LEGEND State Boundary Sanctuary Boundary State Marine Protected Areas State Marine Reserve State Marine Conservation Area Kilometers

3 Reserves Around the World - > 100 marine reserves established worldwide - Encompass < 1 % of world s oceans - < 0.01 % of U.S. waters - Usually quite small, median reserve size is < 1.5 sq. mi.

4 What good are reserves?

5 What good are reserves? Bigger, more abundant animals in reserves produce more young than smaller neighbors in unprotected waters

6 Case Study: Anacapa Is., CA

7 Inside reserve: Case Study: Anacapa Is., CA Lobster = 6 times more abundant Red Urchins = grow 1.7 times larger Sheephead = 3 times more plentiful Kelp = 5 times more dense & persist longer

8 Case Study: Anacapa Is., CA

9 Can reserves produce benefits outside their boundaries? Animals from reserves may move outside to supplement surrounding populations = Spillover Effect

10 Can reserves produce benefits outside their boundaries? Larvae & plant propagules that disperse out of reserves may seed & boost populations in surrounding waters

11 Can reserves benefit migratory organisms?

12 Things to consider when designing reserves How long does it take to see a response?

13 Do all habitats need protection?

14 Can reserves protect species that are affected by climate change and pollution?

15 Ocean processes, natural catastrophes Point Conception Santa Barbara San Miguel Island Santa Rosa Island Santa Cruz Island Anacapa Island Santa Barbara Island Connectivity: Spring Upwelling Period
