RE: A new report finds that even small no-fishing zones can have a very positive effect on the protected wildlife
There are several factors that contribute to the population decline of the African penguin, among them is the shortage of food produced by commercial fishing (African penguins consume squid, sardines, anchovies or crustaceans) and environmental fluctuations.
In addition to these, there are other factors such as the collection of eggs by humans, guano (excrement), oil spills, conflicts with sea lions and seals or fishing nets
