Is it possible for Greenpeace to encourage governments in the Pacific to set up more Marine Protected Areas? - allowing industrial fishing in some places and not others.

MPAs are a successful way of managing small fisheries all over the world.

TNC, WCS and WWF seem to have done a lot of work on this stuff. What's the current thought within Greenpeace about encouraging more of these to be set up? Clearly they don't have enough of them! (if I missed talk of this topic in a previous post - sorry!)
