dc.description.abstractIn 2004, the seventh Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a Programme of Work on Protected Areas. The overall target of this programme was to establish and maintain by 2010, for terrestrial areas and by 2012 for marine protected areas, a comprehensive, effectively managed and ecologically representative system of protected areas that collectively and significantly, will reduce the rate of loss of biodiversity. Marine protected areas (MPA) are being established worldwide in response to a growing recognition of the need for conservation efforts, and because of the degradation of ocean systems. The global number of MPAs has been increasing significantly over the last decade and approximately 5000 MPAs have been designated worldwide covering about 2.68 million km. MPAs play a major role in conservation, human welfare, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. When designated correctly and managed well, MPAs play a key role in protecting ecosystems and, in some cases, it enhances or restores the productive potential of coastal and marine fisheriesen_ZA
