Permanent no-take zones: a minimum standard for effective marine protected areas.

Commercial fishermen, of course, don't much like the idea of no-take zones, despite the fact that their future may depend upon them.

"Some significant area should be designated as a no-take zone, so you have insight into the ways things were before the mining began."

These no-take zones also had greater diversity and the fish were generally larger.

But the plan for no-take zones has raised an outcry among recreational fishing groups.

"While they may sound good on paper, all the no-take zones will do is to make the commercial fleets redouble their efforts in surrounding waters."

However, illegal poaching is not unknown in these no-take zones.

Some fishing restrictions include what are called "no-take" zones, which means that no fishing is allowed.

It erects impossible barriers against the creation of no-take zones.

Florida's recreational anglers support conservation but are leery of no-take zones.
