Protecting Fish Reserves

In recent years much has been done to try to protect endangered species of fish and coral reefs using fish reserves, but the success of these reserves will depend on government ability to enforce their codes.  Many fishing reserves are under threat from illegal fishing which some countries cannot control.  Off shore making parks are difficult to control and survey and thus many are the target of fisherman.  recent researchers believe they can predict where illegal fishing will occur looking at recent events and trends. The may a very useful tool as we try to defend the many endangered fish species around the world.  Apparently most fishing is centralized to one a few "hotspots" especially during certain lunar cycles.  Hopefully the work of these researchers will help the conservation effort in our oceans and dissuade others from fishing illegally in these marine sanctuaries.
