Question

select the correct answer.
how does prohibition as a management strategy help protect certain species in marine protected areas?

a. it allows limited use of the species (through fishing), thus maintaining a sustainable population.

b. it restricts use of the species, allowing them to breed and live safely.

c. it allows use of the species only during certain seasons and durations of time.

d. it restricts all human access to the area and thus protects the species.

Explanation:

Prohibition as a marine protection strategy means banning any harvest/use of the target species. Option A describes limited use, not prohibition. Option C is seasonal restrictions, not prohibition. Option D refers to full human access restriction, which is a stricter measure than species-specific prohibition. Option B correctly states that prohibition restricts use of the species, letting them breed and survive safely.

Answer:

B. It restricts use of the species, allowing them to breed and live safely.
