Cover Story: Our study explores how Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) enhance marine life beyond their boundaries, focusing on the unique ways different fish species benefit. By analyzing six MPAs in Spain and France, we discovered that the spillover of fish biomass into surrounding waters varies not only by species but also by location, influenced by factors like habitat complexity and local fishing pressure. These findings underscore the ecological value of MPAs in supporting nearby fisheries and highlight the need for tailored conservation strategies. This work offers fresh insights into the specific interactions between marine habitats and species, providing a practical guide for optimizing the design and management of MPAs to balance conservation and sustainable fishing in the Mediterranean region. View this paper
