MPA Fisheries Management Toolkit 2020

Abstract

The aim of this toolkit is to provide a resource for those involved in, and affected by, fisheries management decision-making, laying out the key elements to consider in establishing a participatory approach to implementing management in MPAs. The toolkit is designed as a guide to help regulators assess the suitability of establishing a participatory approach, including governance structure, stakeholder balance, management objectives, cost and logistics.

The Toolkit is provided as a combined PDF which includes colour-coded chapters (components) summarised at the start of each section to provide key information at a glance. The summary posters have also been provided separately for ease of reference.
