A new study documents how larval dispersal connects fish populations in a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) - information critical for policymakers. The study, done by a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution biologist and his colleagues in France and Australia, shows some larvae can travel from one marine MPA to another - up to 35 km away.
