Using all kinds of legal system and management tools can preserve resource, protect species and habitats. Besides, it can also preserve historical and cultural resource. Actually, "Convention on Biological Diversity"(CBD) and "Agenda 21" show the importance of Marine Protected Areas in their articles clearly.
