Abstract

Anthropologists who venture into planned multidisciplinary research in marine systems become enmeshed in a social and cultural system of disciplinary hierarchy that constrains the nature and type of expected research. The hierarchical system that favours biology, ecology and economics before other social sciences is deeply ingrained in the U.S. cultural models and enacted managerially in multidisciplinary research agendas. Within that framework, anthropology is one of the social sciences that modifies economics in the form of socio-economics. Anthropology as socioeconomics is challenged to carve out research questions within the hierarchical framework. A meta analysis of the design, implementation and evaluation og the MPAs shows that questions of social and economic equity are in the forefront of fishers' concerns about MPAs, providing a topic of immediate and practical concern for socioeconomic and anthropological research.
