Summary
In this document, Garaway and Esteban detail the background and methodology for their case study research on select Caribbean MPAs. They detail the general approach utilized, including the criteria for site selection, chronology of activities, and data collection techniques. Specifically, they utilize the following techniques within their overall methodological framework: thorough and systematic analysis of secondary data sources, direct and participant observation, semi-structured interviews of key informants and groups, and the use of maps and diagrams for the purposes of data collection and analysis. The authors also acknowledge the limitations of the case study approach, particularly the difficulty in generalizing based on the impacts of MPA management within the sites selected for this investigation. They do argue, however, that since the study sites represent a relatively typical range of MPA scenarios, valuable lessons may emerge from the investigation.
