Marine reserves in New Zealand are special ocean areas that protect sea life by banning fishing and harmful activities. Scientists in New Zealand have shown that these marine reserves are crucial for saving marine species from overfishing. By studying New Zealand reserves, researchers found that marine life inside these areas bounces back and helps nearby waters too. Despite slow progress in creating enough marine reserves, experts suggest making more of these protected zones based on global success. They suggest using clear guidelines to build effective networks of marine reserves, which are essential for conserving ocean biodiversity and planning future marine zones.
