The past two decades have seen China build its deep-sea fishing fleet into the thousands, resulting in China depleting its own stock of fish in oceans closest to them. In turn, their fishermen have sailed to other oceans across the world to continue deep-sea fishing.
Local fishers were consulted in creating the MPAs, and the newly protected areas include community fishing zones to ensure that the MPAs benefit and contribute to the food security of local communities.

The MPAs cover 1,544 square miles (4,000 square kilometers) and will include important nesting grounds for Leatherback Turtles, and migratory routes and breeding habitat for Atlantic Humpback Whales.
