in Coastal Systems

People depend on oceans
• Worldwide fisheries catch value is US $80-85B annually• US$5.7B net benefit from coral reef fisheries• US $7.5K to $167.5 K /sq-km annually seafood market value from mangroves
What are Marine Managed Areas?
• multi-use, ocean zoning schemes of several types of sub-areas– no-take areas (e.g., no fishing)
– buffer zones with particular restrictions (e.g., no oil drilling)
• address different issues and objectives– multiple uses (e.g., fishing, tourism) – extractive human uses are allowed (e.g., fishing).– specific use restriction (e.g., local fishing)
To determine the socioeconomic effects of marine managed areas.
