ALT Graphical abstract describing main results of publication. Across the top is the question, "What drives the perceived efficacy of Marine protected areas?" Below are four clip art graphics describing variables of MPA age, net primary production, fishing effort and sea surface temperature. Finally, a there is figure that shows external fishing effort best explains the spatial variation in fish responses to MPAs. Specifically MPAs with higher external fishing effort have stronger positive effects than MPAs with low external fishing effort.
