[campam] Fw: MPA Benefits - In Numbers


Fri Mar 8 19:15:29 EST 2002


The report by Fiona Gell, Callum Roberts and Renata Goodridge entitled
"The
fishery effects of the Soufriere Marine Management Area 1995/6 to
2000/1",
Environment Department, University of York, UK, should provide some
answers
(including numbers). Basically, the study shows the stocks of some
economically important fin-fish species tripled in the Marine Reserves
and
doubled in the adjacent fishing areas since inception of the Marine
Management Area. You might want to request a copy of the report from Dr.
Roberts at the following email address: cr10 at york.ac.uk

Kind regards,

I came across a well documented case study from the Phillipines. I will
check and try to give the exact reference
