Conservation Biology: Beyond Marine Protected Areas
نویسنده
چکیده
Socioeconomic and ecological analyses of eleven coral reef conservation efforts make clear that marine protected areas are not the answer, and that in fact support of local communities is far more important than some government mandated 'fishing closure'. Apparently there are marine 'paper parks' just as there are terrestrial 'paper parks'.

Striking a balance between biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic viability in the design of marine protected areas.
The establishment of marine protected areas is often viewed as a conflict between conservation and fishing. We considered consumptive and nonconsumptive interests of multiple stakeholders (i.e., fishers, scuba divers, conservationists, managers, scientists) in the systematic design of a network of marine protected areas along California's central coast in the context of the Marine Life Protecti...
متن کاملConservation Biology: Strict Marine Protected Areas Prevent Reef Shark Declines
Populations of two coral reef shark species are declining rapidly: the pattern of decline highlights both the substantial impact of poaching on closed areas and the success of strict no-entry marine protected areas in maintaining healthy shark populations.
متن کاملMarine protected areas and the governance of marine ecosystems and fisheries.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are spatially defined marine units in which one or more human activities— particularly fishing—are restricted or prohibited. They represent a precautionary and ecosystem-based approach to ocean management (Mangel 2000; Pikitch et al. 2004; Jones 2006). The 1992 Convention for Biological Diversity set a target for 10% of the global marine area to be designated as MP...

She pioneered the use of meta-analysis to reconstruct ecological changes on coral reefs and measure the effectiveness of marine protected areas at enhancing fish and their habitats. She is actively involved in marine protected area issues in Canada. Sh...
متن کاملEffectiveness of marine protected areas in the Philippines for biodiversity conservation.
Quantifying the extent to which existing reserves meet conservation objectives and identifying gaps in coverage are vital to developing systematic protected-area networks. Despite widespread recognition of the Philippines as a global priority for marine conservation, limited work has been undertaken to evaluate the conservation effectiveness of existing marine protected areas (MPAs). Targets fo...
