 Here's a snippet from the beginning of the article (after the introduction). It gave me the sense of the organized governmental procedures that should take place in order to efficiently enforce fishery measures worldwide:

Over the last few days, I've been doing some further research on marine reserves, focusing on its economic aspect, namely the predicted benefits and costs for the fishery management. I found one really good article that summarizes the objectives and effects of MPAs quite well. The source covers the economic, social, and political implications of MPAs and emphasizes the notion that marine reserves are really a public investment of marine resources from the perspective of the social community involved.

Another relevant article to the economics of marine reserves is the one below. Hopefully we can study the economic models, potentials, costs, and benefits in these sources to better understand the logistics of marine reserves, their advantages and disadvantages so we can create practical solutions.
