The 90 Day Plan - Day 82: Advocate for Marine Protected Areas (MPA)

DAY 82

Humans are an inter-tidal species.  Become an ADVOCATE for MARINE PROTECTED AREAS, MPAs.  These areas increase the survival potential and population density for marine life by giving them a sanctuary to feed and reproduce. 

Challenge:  What is America’s Exclusive Economic Zone?  How large is it compared to our land?  What is the total square mileage for our National Parks vs. MPAs?  What are three substantial threats to fish populations and how can more MPAs help to prevent a bad situation from getting worse?
