New research from @CCFRP - a partnership between scientists, agencies, and fishermen 🎣 - documents higher fish biomass in bigger and older marine protected areas across California.
So excited to finally see this paper out in @ConLetters!
We worked collaboratively w/ recreational anglers (@CCFRP) to sample 12 MPAs over 6 years & found evidence to further support age and size matter for fish across a temperate reserve network.
