This paper deals with the design of modelling tools suitable for investigating the
consequences of alternative policies on the dynamics of resources and fisheries, such as …

This paper reviews the research to date that relates to the economics of marine protected
areas (MPAs). A special effort is made to examine the evidence on the benefits and costs of …

Declines in marine harvests, wildlife, and habitats have prompted calls at both the 2002

The present paper aims at identifying and assessing indicators of the effects of Marine
Protected Areas (MPAs) in coral reef regions, based on a bibliography review in ecology …

Unpredictable environmental fluctuations are a major problem in fisheries. To mitigate these
uncertainties, reserves are advocated to help ensure population persistence, reduce …

The world faces major risks in ensuring the sustainability and on-going socio-economic
benefits from its marine capture fisheries (MCFs). Key drivers of risks for MCFs include …

This paper gives an overview of the bioeconomic modelling of marine reserves, and
illustrates how economists have responded to the modelling results found in the ecological …

Coastal resources in Tanzania have come under increasing pressure over the past three
decades, which has led to a significant decline in the biodiversity and productivity of coastal …

To help manage the fluctuations inherent in fish populations scientists have argued for both
an ecosystem approach to management and the greater use of marine reserves. Support for …

The conservation of biodiversity is a major environmental issue, one that promises to remain
at or near the top of the environmental agenda for the foreseeable future. The loss of …
