'These areas belong to a network of marine protected areas, inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and prohibit commercial fishing activities. Therefore, the protection, against the pressure of fisheries seems to play a big role in creating low mortality rates of species living in this area, ' said Mrs. Knip, an expert from the Research Center.
