- What is a marine protected area?
A marine protected area (MPA), as adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, is an environmental management tool used to protect marine life. A marine protected area is a refuge for marine life where certain plants and animals are not harvested, and human activities that can disturb or damage marine life are restricted. A report on marine protected areas in Puget Sound identified a total of 102 Puget Sound intertidal and subtidal protected areas as existing MPAs, including state and local parks, such as Edmonds' Underwater Park and Tacoma's Titlow Beach Park. As of 1998, there were only five "no-take " MPAs in Puget Sound where extraction of marine life is prohibited: the Edmonds Underwater Park, two beaches in Des Moines, Octopus Hole in Hood Canal, and Orchard Rocks, south of Bainbridge Island. In San Juan County, eight voluntary no-take zones have been identified. There is some question about whether local control of harvest management in MPAs is pre-empted by the state and tribes. At the Edmonds Underwater Park, in addition to the city, the state Department of Natural Resources and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife are involved in the closure of the area to harvesting.
