Table 2
Summary of the Marxan and MinPatch runs for the three conservation scenarios. Average distance represents the average of the distances between two neighboring MPAs. It was not estimated for the Marxan solutions given the high number of MPAs and small distances between them.

| Number of MPAs >5 km2 | 10 | 26 | |
| Total area MPAs | 822 km2 | 821 km2 | |
