Marine Protected Areas Flashcards
Marine reserves
Permanent protection from all anthropogenic threats
Marine protected areas
Permanent protection from at least on anthropogenic effects
Fishery closure
Close fishey at a particular area and particular tume
Goal of MR & MPA
protect biodiversity & ecosystem
Goal of fishery closure
Protect a particular sps
Recover of an exploited sps
Protect vulnerable life history stages
What are the different conservation perspective
2 perspective
1- main issue is biodiversity
Main solution - MOA
2 perspective
Main issue is - overfishing
Root issue is overcapitalization
Main solution is - better fishery management by providing incentives
What are the 4 goals of MPA
Goal 1 - mantain target sps health
Goal 2 - recover exploited sps
Goal 3 - mainatain high yield
Goal 4 - biodiversity , ecosystem function & structure
Goal 1 😄
Maintain heath by
- age and size
- behaviour
- genetic diversity
Reduce
- age truncation
- life history evolution by allowing older and larger fishes to survive that can reproduce
Goal 2 - 😄
Recover & rebuild exploited pop
Goal 3 - maintain inc yield 🫤
Sold by saying that once the population recovers its going to spill put
- only occurs if sps have a lower dispersion rate
- mpa is big enough for pop to build and over load
Lead to controversies
Controversies of goal 3
Fishery scientist oppose mpa to maintain catches
Not true bcz fishery scientist understand the role of mpa to buffers fishery impact on biodiversity
Goal 4
Protect vulnerable habitat
Protect ecosystems process
- Protect vulnerable pop to perevebt them from becoming ecologically extinct
-protect non target sps
Protect from management mistakes
Canada status of mpa
Lagging behind
Canadian park & wilderness society - 14sci created scoence based guidlines on how to implement it
Press release shows -
MR > 30% of each habitat, prioritize ecology & group it with functional networks
Min size 10-20km
How can it be enforced
Educate fishers on long term benefit
