Pollnac, R., & Seara, T. (2011). Factors influencing success of marine protected areas in the Visayas, Philippines as related to increasing protected area coverage. Environmental Management, 47(4), 584-592.
Throughout the world there is a general consensus among environmentalists that there should be an
increase in the amount of marine area that should be reserved in marine protected areas (MPAs). In fact, the 1998 Philippines Fishery Code indicates a need for designation of at least 15% of municipal waters for fish refuges or sanctuaries. Such an increase in area would take productive fishing areas away from fishing communities that can ill-afford the loss. The larger the protected area, there will be a greater number of people impacted. This article examines the relationship between factors that influence
the success of Community Based MPA (CBMPA) performance in the Visayas, Philippines and their significance in efforts to increase the size of protected areas.
MPA的成功與否,至少必須從生態跟社會面來剖析,
科學研究基礎很重要,才能從生態面落實保育,而相關機構間的整合也是成功要素。特別是建立監控機制、尋找共同目標、法令支持等都不可或缺。

The growing number of marine protected areas (MPAs) globally represents an increasing
interest in marine conservation and fisheries management and the potential of planned
and managed MPA networks as a way of strengthening local management. This study
documents the development of MPA networks in the Philippines and identifies critical
success factors and issues. Methods were field observation by participation in MPA
and fisheries management projects and focused interviews that gathered opinions and
observations of primary MPA network stakeholders in the central Visayas region. Findings show that an MPA network is defined through social and ecological criteria. From
a social perspective, a network is comprised of people and organizations that manage
component MPAs, benefit from the network, and promote the network’s viability through
shared administrative responsibility and information. To qualify as part of an ecological
network, individual MPAs must interact ecologically (e.g., source or sink of larvae and
propagating organisms, protection for habitat, and threatened or endangered species)
to enhance fisheries and biodiversity conservation.
The study found that while social
and ecological criteria are shaping MPA networks through science-based planning,
integrated management, and coordination, there exist numerous institutional issues related to scaling up to networks from single MPAs. Issues pertain to: limiting access
to resources, boundary delineation, monitoring compliance, finding common goals and
identity, and conflict resolution. Factors correlated with management success included
common institutional processes and legal support, improved understanding of benefits
from a network and improved habitat conditions and fishery yields associated with MPAs

a case study in the design of a regional component of a statewide network of marine protected areas
(MPAs) for improved ecosystem protection. We describe enabling factors, such as a
legislative mandate,
political will, and adequate capacity and funding that fostered a successful planning process. We identify strategic principles that guided the design of a transparent public planning process that delivered
regional MPA network proposals, which both met science guidelines and achieved a high level of support
among stakeholders. We also describe key decision support elements (spatial data, planning tools, and
scientific evaluation) that were essential for designing, evaluating, and refining alternative MPA network
proposals and for informing decision-makers.

Factors influencing the success of community-based marine protected areas in North Sulawesi Indonesia
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine factors that influence the success of community based marine protected areas in North Sulawesi Indonesia. The research took place in North Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. A multi-methods approach was used including administration of a survey questionnaire to a random sample of household respondents, use of secondary data, key informant interviews and direct observations within the field sites. Results demonstrate that community-based management interventions and community responses are complex and varied. Progress in establishing community-based marine protected areas was related to community context and the amount and type of project interventions provided. The role of community organizers was also an influencing factor. Compliance with resource management and conservation rules was related to the distance of the reef area to a settlement. Effective enforcement measures can be tailored to the type of violator and the type of rules. Local rules can be effectively enforced when the violator is from the community. Enforcement is more difficult when the violator is from outside the village. Alternative livelihood strategies provide only a small degree of impact on reducing fishing effort if not coupled with effort restriction or limited entry strategies. Community development interventions play an important role in promoting successful conservation strategies. The dynamic nature of the human ecology of coastal communities defies any form of highly predictive cause and effect linkages assumed in most project logic models Since complexity is inherent in the human component of the ecosystem, the uncertainty of human responses to management interventions requires an adaptive and ecosystems-based management approach. ^
