Human Dimensions of Marine Protected Areas
Last updated: 05/11/2009
Publication and Source:
This paper was published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science.
"This
paper explores ten human dimensions that are basic to the acceptance
and ultimate success of MPAs: objectives and attitudes, "entry
points" for introducing MPAs, attachment to place, meaningful
participation, effective governance, the "people side" of knowledge,
the role of rights, concerns about displacement, MPA costs and
benefits, and the bigger picture around MPAs. These people-orientated
factors and their impact on the success and effectiveness of
MPAs are examined in relation to experiences with MPAs globally,
and in relation to two Canadian examples specifically, one coastal
(Eastport, Newfoundland) and the other offshore (the Gully,
Nova Scotia)."
