[Coral-List] New papers on MPAs and the future challenge of conservation

[Camilo Mora]

Dear coral list:

I would like to advertise a coupled papers that were published last  
year about MPAs, which are freely available in the link below. They  
are an attempt to see why MPAs fail and provide a broader overview of  
the challenge ahead protecting coral reefs and other ecosystems.
