I think if they make marine protected areas that are off limits to recreational fishermen they should be off limits to boating, diving and all human activities. Just like our new wilderness areas on land. Can't visit unless your willing to walk awhile. No wheeled vehicles on land, no boats or dive gear in the ocean in these areas.
That said I am a diver of 12 years and fisherman of 40 years. Don't let the eco people and PETA close off everything like they want! Eric
