MPAs primarily regulate human activities by segregating them spatially. MPAs alone cannot address problems such as pollution, climate change, or overfishing.

Ticks are Everywhere. Ticks are everywhere, which means tick disease is everywhere. In fact, veterinary parasitologist Dr. Michael Dryden of Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine calls tick disease an âepidemic.â Tick disease in dogs is a sentinel for people.
