Socio-Economic Evaluation of Marine Protected Areas

International audienceSocioeconomic evaluation of marine protected areas (MPAs) aims to identify and measure the social costs and benefits created by the MPA. Thus, an overall assessment and its breakdown within the society can be determined. This chapter first presents the main tools for the socioeconomic evaluation of MPAs. The two main types of tools are the techniques for the evaluation of non-market values, and bioeconomic models. Next, the chapter addresses the problems inherent in the measurement of the non-market values meant to maintain the MPAs. It describes the problems inherent in modeling the bioeconomic processes which the MPAs are supposed to influence. For each case, the chapter outlines the main adaptations used in the attempt to resolve, or at least to reduce, these difficulties. © ISTE Ltd 2015. All rights reserved

Objectives of fisheries management: case studies from the UK, France, Spain and Denmark

The main objectives of fisheries management are generally similar throughout the world. These are often stated in policy documents such as the Common Fisheries Policy and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. However, at the local level often the key objectives of management are more detailed, characterised by both the overriding management structure and the status and type of fishery concerned. In this paper, we consider case study fisheries from the UK, France, Spain and Denmark to compare some of the various types of fisheries and fisheries management systems that exist in the European Union. From this, we define the key objectives for each management system.Objectives Fisheries management Common fisheries policy
