Spillover from Protected Areas

Caption

Protecting areas with good habitat can benefit fisheries through adult and juvenile fish spillover and larval export. In areas with the highest recovery potential, fish stocks are predicted to increase, on average, from 200 percent on Hawai'i to 500 percent on O'ahu.
