MPAs can be effective as a complementary management tool to protect marine ecosystems and the resources they provide for the benefit of locals. Community engagement in the MPA is critical to reach management, conservation and livelihood targets.
Benefits of a marine protected area (MPA)
Dynamite fishing threatens livelihoods and food security in Zanzibar and coastal Tanzania.
Unsustainable fishing practices
Both fisheries and seaweed farming are important livelihoods for local communities. Therefore, it is critical to promote cooperation among resource users, to reduce conflicts, and to establish guidelines for participatory planning among seaweed farmers and fisherfolks.
Participatory water access planning for seaweed…
The many benefits of a healthy ocean need to be managed with sustainable land use practices that reduce the flow of sediments, nutrients, and pathogens into coastal waters; catch limits and gear restrictions for fisheries are implemented; and non-extraction zones are established to maximize the well-being of selected marine habitats and to allow them to provide valuable ecosystem services.
Climate change impacts on ecosystem and management
The Verde Island Passage (VIP) in the Philippines is known for its highly diverse and abundant marine ecosystems and resources: mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, seaweed communities, coral reefs, fish, and megafauna. Over 7 million people in the surrounding provinces are reliant on these resources for their livelihoods including fishing, aquaculture, and tourism.
Marine and coastal ecosystem features of the VIP
Multiple impacts threaten the natural resources of the Verde Island Passage. Human activity and natural threats include overfishing, destructive and illegal fishing practices, unsustainable coastal development, unsustainable land use practices, and natural disasters. Climate change threats include increased sea surface temperature, sea level rise, increased storm frequency and intensity, increased rainfall, and ocean acidification.
Threats to the marine resources of the Verde…
