Co-Management and Marine Reserves in Fishery Management

  • Chapter
The Fisheries Co-management Experience

Part of the book series: Fish and Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 26))

Abstract

Marine protected areas (MPAs), especially marine reserves, where some or all extractive resource uses (eg fishing) are prohibited, have gained currency as a fishery management tool. The growing interest in marine reserves follows from the perception that conventional fishery management has failed to sustain some fisheries, in both ecological and socio-economic terms. In addition, marine reserves are consistent with the concept of ecosystem management, in contrast to other measures which focus on single species or species complexes. As a fishery management tool, marine reserves are of interest because they are expected to protect habitat and marine life within their boundaries, enhance spawning potential, and contribute to fisheries through larval transport and spillover of juveniles and adults. Moreover, reserves fit with changing views that fisheries represent a limited set of values and uses of the ocean, and that management should be more encompassing.
