Furthermore, MPAs are capable of enhancing marine research as with the Ecological Characterization Project undertaken by the NationalMarineProtectedAreasCenter National Marine Protected Areas Center (2006). The creation of a scientific journal dedicated to the dissemination of research undertaken in MPAs and Marine reserves would also be a useful tool for education. Additionally the profits of such a journal (from membership fees and subscriptions) could be distributed back to the MPA from which the data were collected.
MPAs are capable of great feats of research and education when used appropriately. With increased exposure to ocean information, mediated by MPAs, public knowledge of the world ocean problem can be commonplace.
