Abstract
Marine protected areas (MPA) are valuable tools for biodiversity conservation and fisheries management. Their effectiveness is highly dependent on fishs spillover through unprotected areas. Nowadays, many studies focus on predictive modeling to determine MPA optimal size. In this paper, we proposed an empirical study in Martinique to evaluate the efficacy of one MPA in function of different species.
