Abstract/Summary:
The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) commissioned studies in six countries to understand the social dimensions of implementing MPAs, with the following specific objectives: 1) to provide an overview of the legal framework for, and design and implementation of, MPAs; 2) to document and analyze the experiences and views of local communities, particularly fishing communities, with respect to various aspects of MPA design and implementation; and 3) to suggest ways in which livelihood concerns can be integrated into the MPA Programme of Work, identifying, in particular, how local communities, particularly fishing communities, could engage as equal partners in the MPA process. The studies were undertaken in Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, Tanzania and Thailand.
