Hey Brittany,

Try to see my other two most recent papers re enforcement and marine
reserves:

1. Maliao RJ, Pomeroy RS, Turingan RG (2009) Performance of community-based
coastal resource management (CBCRM) programs in the Philippines: A
meta-analysis. Marine Policy 33:818-825
2. Maliao RJ, White AT, Maypa AP, Turingan RG (2009) Trajectories and
magnitude of change in coral reef fish populations in Philippine marine
reserves: a meta-analysis. Coral Reefs 28:809-822
