Summary
This report details the results of the case study conducted by C. Garaway and N. Esteban at Negril Marine Park in Jamaica. The study begins by describing the history of the MPA as well as current park management practices and activities. The authors then outline the primary opportunities and constraints of management as perceived by key implementing organizations. The primary stakeholders including the poorest groups and those that use or live in and around the MPA were then identified. The authors subsequently outline the following impacts of MPA management: (1) the ecological impacts of MPA management on reefs and fisheries, (2) the impacts of NMP on fishers, (3) the importance of NMP on the tourism industry, (4) the impacts of NMP on poorer groups involved in the tourism industry, and (5) the impacts of NMP on small farmers. Finally, the report concludes with factors believed by staff to be affecting the ability to achieve management objectives, problems arising from the lack of benefits afforded the local community, and opportunities that have presented themselves through an increase in benefits to poorer groups.
