Abstract

With the conservation of marine resources increasingly a global priority, the concept of marine protected areas (MPAs) is being widely propagated. Most MPAs are located in inshore and coastal areas of high biodiversity, which has direct relevance and concern to the livelihoods, culture and survival of small-scale and traditional fishing communities. Numerous studies have examined the ecological and biological impacts of MPAs; however, few have focused on the social implications of MPAs on communities who depend on fisheries resources for a livelihood.
