Marine protected areas in fisheries management
Résumé
☞The international context shows that many MPAs overall objectives, identified in international Conventions, were
not achieved in 2012 and consequently were repeated: “By 2020, at least … 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas,
especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively
and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective
area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes” (CBD Strategic Plan
2011-2020, Goal C, Target 11, CBD CoP10, Decision X2, Nagoya 2010).
The present document aims to present the results of an
analysis of the world literature, draw lessons from learned
experiences, and share relevant recommendations
with regard to situations experienced in the SRFC zone on
the best ways and means to use MPAs as fisheries management
tools.
Through the future programs of the SRFC and States of
the region, the challenges will be the best utilization of
the recommendations contained therein in order to, on
the one hand, improve the relations between the governances
of coastal management, fisheries, and MPAs and,
on the other hand, to develop solutions enabling a better
integration of the concerns of fisheries in the management
of MPAs and of the MPAs in the management of fisheries..
The work, conducted by a group of experts from the University
of Brest (UMR Amure) – Agrocampus from Rennes
(fisheries) – the IUCN-CEM Fisheries Expert Group coordinated
by BRL Engineering and EBCD and supported by
many international contributions, has highlighted a series
of illustrative examples and case-studies on MPAs in
three main documents:
■ A “technical report“ in french representing the State of
the Art made up with 4 volumes dealing with “Governance“,
“socio-economic and bio-economic modelling“,
“bio-ecological and bioecological modelling“, and “Element
of Reflection for the SRFC and its partners“ in support
to the regional Workshop;
■ The present “Synthesis Report“ ;
■ A ten-page note summarizing the outcomes of the
study (www.spcsrp.org).
These works as well as the supporting document and
thoughts they produced enabled the holding of a regional
workshop in December 2011 in Dakar during which the
outcomes of the review were presented. Exchanges with
several representatives of fisheries and environmental
institutions and other stakeholders throughout the subregion
(fishermen, funders, scientists, etc.,) led to confirmation
of the relevance of the supporting documents of
the Workshop and specified further the recommendations
presented in this document.
☞Three main questions are asked in this study:
■ Are MPAs tools preferable to conventional fishery management
tools when it comes to promoting :(1) the
particular protection of certain areas, habitats or, species;
(ii) the, allocation of resources; and (iii) the participation
of communities in the decision-making process?
■ What lessons have been learned on the effects of MPAs
on fishing and on the tools associated to the measurement
of these effects?
■ Are there any lessons to be drawn from the international
experience on governance of MPAs in relation to fishing
that could lead to improvements in management?
