Systemic dynamics in creating marine protected areas, this article illustrates some of the drivers, challenges, and benefits in so doing. 

"In Chile’s Valparaíso region, artisanal fishers have created grassroots marine reserves to protect marine biodiversity. The areas are small, some of them just 15 hectares (37 acres) in size, but they provide a haven for marine creatures to grow and reproduce. This growth can contribute to regenerating coastal biodiversity, making the region more resilient to climate change, while the fisherfolk can benefit from a greater availability of resources in the long term."
