Researchers from the University of Cape Town found that even a small protected area can help save endangered species. In an effort to save a target group of fish species, a marine conservation zone was established to prevent commercial fishing in that area. As a result the top predator of the fish, the African penguin, has seen positive effects that may help save their species.

ReplyDelete• The top predator can't see positive effects. Researchers can see positive effects.
• I don't understand how the fish and the penguins are connected.
