"Commissioners also agreed with special fishing regulations developed by the National Park Service for Dry Tortugas National Park, including establishment of a 46-square nautical mile Research Natural Area in the park where fishing, spearing and anchoring will be prohibited."

Thats a freakin huge area.

Roughly a 6.8 x 6.8 mile square, right or is a nautical mile longer

.....There are already similiar areas in the Keys that prohibit fishing, anchoring and spearing...I snorkled some areas around Marathon that was that way

Well nautical mile = 1.15 statue miles, thats still a good size area.
