Summary
This report details the results of the case study conducted by C. Garaway and N. Esteban at Hol Chan Marine Reserve in Belize. The study begins by describing the history of the MPA reserve as well as current park management practices and major activities. The report then outlines the primary opportunities and constraints of management as perceived by implementing organizations, including park staff. The authors then identify the primary stakeholders including the poorest groups and those that use and live in and around the Hol Chan Reserve. The potential benefits and non-benefits of HCMR management and services to poorer groups are detailed, followed by actual ecological and socioeconomic impacts on tourism and fishermen. Finally, the following conclusions are offered: (1) the ecological outcomes of MPA management, (2) the extent to which local communities have benefited, and (3) factors believed by staff to affect achievement of MPA objectives
