FW: MPA Benefits - In Numbers

[Zsolt Sary]

I too was under the impression that little direct
evidence exists to show that fishers can recover in
increased catches what they give up in reduced fishing
gounds.  So I would be interested to see what evidence
Callum presents to confirm those theoretical
predictions.

Is the article available in PDF format somewhere?

Thanks,
