By utilizing fishing techniques that target species of fish allowed in the marine protected area, you can maximize profits from fishing activities in the region. This includes jigging for reef fish, fly-fishing for pelagic species, and trolling with live bait. Additionally, targeting undersized and marginal fisheries that are less exploited can also increase profitability.

To maximize profits from fishing activities in a marine protected area, it is important to consider the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. Aim to use eco-friendly methods such as trap and tickle systems, instead of destructive methods like bottom trawling. Target slower growing, more valuable species rather than quick profits from smaller species. Focus on high quality gear and maintain tight inventories to minimize waste. Finally, partner with conservation groups or scientists who can help monitor fishing impact on habitats over time. By taking these precautions you can have a successful fishing operation in a Marine Protected Area that also serves to protect the surrounding environment.
