There are also simple, non-technological ways to limit the number of violations of Marine Protected Areas. One method is to properly size Marine Protected Areas, preventing scales that exceed the capabilities of the work force monitoring it. Also, and perhaps most critically, it is important to promote a local sense of support for the Marine Protected Areas. This creates a form of peer surveillance in which fishers outside of the protected areas will mutually enforce the statutes as well (Jones 2004). In practice, an effective system of peer surveillance has been shown to be the most effective enforcement method for any management practice (Russ, Alcala, & Maypa 2003). This fact again highlights the fact general acceptance of these reserves is a key factor in their success.
We've seen through past examples that the time required for a marine sanctuary to become fully protected varies from two to fifteen years. This time difference is due to the amount of opposition the sanctuary has. For example the Flower Garden Banks reserve took eleven years to be designated as a reserve after it was first proposed because of a number of issues. (Flower Garden Banks, 2007) Time scale is also dependent on the amount of government control there is seeing how government type will change the implementation strategy. For a comparison on time for global implementation we look at the Millennium Goals. The Millennium Goals, whose goals are on par with the scale of ours, goal date was 2015.(UN Millennium Goals, 2005) So it is reasonable to believe that if a ten percent agreement is reached we can implement it in fifteen years.
