Book (series)Marine protected areas: country case studies on policy, governance and institutional issues. 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This document presents case studies of the policy, governance and institutional issues of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Brazil, India, Palau and Senegal. It is the first of four in a global series of case studies on MPAs. An initial volume provides a synthesis and analysis of all the studies. The set of global MPA case studies was designed to close a deficit in information on the governance of MPAs and spatial management tools, within both fisheries management and biodiversity con servation contexts. The studies examine governance opportunities in and constraints on the use of spatial management measures at the national level. They were also designed to inform implementation of the FAO Technical Guidelines on marine protected areas (MPAs) and fisheries, which were developed to provide information and guidance on the use of MPAs in the context of fisheries. -
Book (series)Governance of marine protected areas in least-developed countries. Case studies 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This document is a synthesis of Les aires marines protégées d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Gouvernance et politiques publiques (Weigel et. al, 2007) which proposes an analytical framework to study the governance of MPAs in the LDCs, drawing on four sources of inspiration: (i) the interactive fisheries governance approach; (ii) the risk governance approach; (iii) the socioanthropology of mediations and brokerage; and (iv) the governance analytical framework. The framework indicates the five issu es that must be addressed in order to operationalize the concept of governance in LDC MPAs: (i) definition of the problem or the issue at stake; (ii) identification of the set of relevant governance norms; (iii) presentation of the actors involved in the governance process; (iv) highlighting the nodes around which actors’ strategies converge; and (v) recalling the processes that have led to the current state of governance. This analytical framework makes it possible to characterize t he governance system of each of the MPAs considered and to develop a typology of these systems. The characterization of different governance systems highlights their weaknesses and paves the way for new public policy options and, more generally, for the restructuring of governance to correct these weaknesses. In order to develop an analytical framework and the characterization of governance systems the main MPA governance principles and constraints, as well their legal context, were clarified. This was done by testing the proposed methodology in three West African coastal and marine protected areas, which illustrated the difficulties of governance in LDCs: the Banc d’Arguin National Park in Mauritania, the Saloum Delta Biosphere Reserve in Senegal, and the Bolama Bijagos Archipelago Biosphere Reserve in Guinea-Bissau. The analysis of demographic and economic constraints in these West African MPAs showed the importance of: (i) increasing population density and mobi lity; (ii) the intensification of resource exploitation; and (iii) and the opening of the MPA economy. The analysis of the legal and institutional contexts showed the international inspiration of the MPA objectives and conservation arrangements, and the syncretism of the legal system. -
Book (series)Rebuilding of marine fisheries - Part 2: Case studies 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Part 2 of the global review of “Rebuilding of Marine Fisheries” provides 13 case studies of fisheries on which rebuilding initiatives were undertaken, in various parts of the world and under different circumstances, as well as an analysis of the role of closures (MPAs and fishery closures) in rebuilding. The cases studies relate to: Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Bluefin tuna; Norwegian spring spawning herring and Northeast Atlantic cod; Southeast Australia multispecies (scalefish and sharks); Japanese sardine, anchovy and chub mackerel; Western Australia snapper, multispecies demersal resources and scallop fisheries; South African fisheries on hakes, sardine and rock lobster; and Canadian (Newfoundland) cod. The MPA analysis considers many examples of MPAs and fishery closures, including the Great Barrier Reef. The case studies illustrate contrasting situations regarding the nature of the resources, the types of fisheries, the governance structures and processes, the environmental and socioeconomic contexts, the causes of depletion, information richness, and outcomes. They highlight the multiple dimensions of the rebuilding problem. A number of lessons are learned regarding the triggering factors, the likelihood and factors of success in rebuilding, the importance of reactiveness, timeliness and clarity of the objectives, the weakly predictable nature of the process, the main problems, the uncertainty inherent in rebuilding trajectories, the needed improvements in the legal, policy, governance and management frameworks, the rebuilding and post-rebuilding regimes, economic and social considerations, science - policy issues, environmental issues, enabling and limiting factors and challenges.
