History and Application of the Wilderness Concept in Marine Conservation    (Sloan, NA. 2002. Conservation Biology, 12 (6), pp. 294-305)
These papers from the journal Conservation Biology discuss the importance of No-Take Zones in National Marine Sanctuaries for marine biodiversity (which includes gamefish and commercial food fish and shellfish) and how commercial and recreation special interest are often successful in limiting such zones in a manner that has a direct impact on the Sanctuaries' effectiveness. They also discuss the very real impact such zones can have on coastal communities and what can be done about this.
