Summary
This document is an introduction to the models, impacts and costs of Marine Protected Areas. The authors present the socio-economic values of Marine Protected Areas to local livelihoods, national economies and international wellbeing. Case studies highlight the varying management approaches, focusing on integration at the community level and regional planning of MPA networks for optimal benefits. Several financing mechanisms are introduced, such as user fees and trust funds and the importance of transparency and accountability is stressed. The authors present community based monitoring as an effective way to lower costs and promote successful management. International policy guidance, drawn from several key conventions and declarations, is provided to put marine conservation in the context of international concern. This document is a useful overview of the roles and methodologies for MPAs and may serve as a starting point for further, more in-depth research.
