- ALT1: ... that research undertaken to create the Ascension Island Marine Protected Area found it would be more economical to ban commercial fishing altogether than to sell fishing licences? Source: Muench et al. 2022: "It was concluded that the current number of licenses sold would not cover the monitoring and enforcement cost for option 1: partial closure of the EEZ"
- ALT2: ... that the South Atlantic Anomaly prevents some remote sensing methods from working over the Ascension Island Marine Protected Area? Source: Rowlands et a. 2019: "VIIRS night time vessel detection products are locally ineffective because of the South Atlantic magnetic anomaly"
