Mini-symposium information

Theme: Management and Monitoring
Title: Evaluating management success (18A).

Abstract: Whilst several evaluation tools have been developed and  
there has been over a decade of discussion about management  
effectiveness, a definition of what constitutes management success and  
how to define this has remained elusive.
In the Caribbean, one regional network, the Dutch Caribbean Nature  
Alliance has been collecting detailed information on park management  
for six years, including the context within which the park operates,  
the issues and threats to the park as well as the operational  
management. This information has been used in management planning,  
identifying training needs and information gaps, reporting to funders,  
developing outreach materials and a range of other applications.

Using this and other examples from around the world this mini  
symposium aims to identify what constitutes management success and to  
develop criteria for evaluating measures of success, which are  
relevant to a wide array of marine protected area management regimes  
around the world.

Some of the key questions will be;
Are there base lines of capacity that are required to operate  
protected areas?
What constitutes successful protected area management?
Which criteria can be used to objectively assess management success?
Which criteria can be used to signify active protected area management?

Please send your submission through the ICRS website:
