Abstract
The article emphasises the value of marine protected areas (MPAs) and the efforts made by conservationists to protect animal biodiversity in pelagic environments. The article is based on and includes data described in the book ‘Conserving the Oceans: The Politics of Large Marine Protected Areas’ by Justin Alger. It is about the deconstruction of industry influence and stakeholder behaviour during the establishment of three large-scale MPAs.
