Details

The project sought examples of successful approaches and measures of managing fishing within MPAs. Drawing on case studies from contextually comparable countries around the work the project explored solutions and best practice employed in the management of mobile and static gear fisheries on benthic habitats, ephemera species, and highly mobile species.

These recommendations should further improve the management of fisheries in MPAs
