MPA

Marine Protected Area

Discrete geographic areas of the sea that are protected by spatially explicit restrictions designated under international, national, tribal or local laws to enhance long-term conservation of natural resources therein.

NTR

No-take reserve

MPAs where all anthropogenic activities are excluded, apart from scientific research.

PPA

Partially protected area

MPAs whereby regulations restrict some extractive uses but permit others.

Open

Open access area

Areas outside the MPA that are open to fishing.

TP

Target-protected species

Target species that were protected in both the NTR and the PPA

TNP

Target non-protected species

Target species that were protected in the NTR but still allowed to be fished inside the PPA

NT

Non-target species

Species for which fishing gear is not specifically set, although the possibility that these species are accidentally caught as by-catch cannot be ruled out

IdC

Indiscriminate, commercial PPA

PPAs that prohibit fishing activities which are damaging to bottom habitats and non-target species (e.g. scallop dredging, bottom trawling) but allow other forms of commercial fishing with mid-water towed gear or static bottom gear

DC

Discriminate, commercial PPA

PPAs that prohibit activities which affect particular target species but not the surrounding environment (e.g. seine nets, long lines, spearfishing) but allow subsistence fishing on a commercial basis

DR

Discriminate, recreational PPA

PPAs that prohibit activities which affect particular target species but not the surrounding environment (e.g. seine nets, long lines, spearfishing) but allow fishing on a recreational basis
