In recent years, marine protected areas have been "super-sized". At first glance, this seems a gift to marine conservation. Yet, the new wave of very large marine protected areas ("VLMPAs") have faced criticism from the scientific community. In this article we examine the merits and the criticisms of VLMPAS, and consider whether they provide a much-needed boost to marine conservation, or are simply too good to be true.
近年来，海洋保护区规模不断“扩大”。乍一看，这似乎是给海洋保护的一份礼物。然而，新一波的超大型海洋保护区（“VLMPAs”）却遭到了科学界的批评。在本文中，我们审视了超大型海洋保护区的优点与批评意见，并思考它们是为海洋保护提供了亟需的助力，还是好得令人难以置信。
