Marine Productivity: Perturbations and Resilience of Socio-ecosystems

Abstract

Marine protected areas (MPAs) were created in reaction to large-scale disturbance that humankind has caused to the equilibrium, productivity, and production of marine ecology. This chapter considers some specific characteristics of different types of MPAs. It attempts to assess how the protection of these areas allows them to return to close to their original state after disturbance. It also attempts to discern the ways in which societies whose existence or activities depend on these protected areas may adapt their total conservation or use the environment more or less aggressively.

The creation, existence, and maintenance of these new marine areas induces greater control of their condition, and new coastal environment laws have led to the creation of new activities and professions.

Human societies are beginning to implement new technical and legal methods of control. They must realize the maintenance of ecosystem quality through new approaches. Finally, they must consider that these new activities must be integrated into the functioning of natural marine ecosystems and that additional resources should be allocated to these new missions.
