BBC News Climate & Science

The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawaii is almost four times the size of California. Catch rates for yellowfin tuna had increased by 54%, bigeye tuna by 12% and all fish species combined by 8%, according to the research, published in the journal, Science.It's likely that the size of the protected area and the homing behaviour of some tuna species in the region played a role in the positive effects observed, they said.
