Governing marine protected areas: Social–ecological resilience through institutional diversity

Em decorrência da constância de colapsos que o setor pesqueiro artesanal vem enfrentando ao redor do mundo, as demandas por medidas mitigadoras têm aumentado e, com isso, a discussão da necessidade de uma gestão solidamente eficaz dos recursos naturais oriundos da pesca se mostra cada vez mais iminente. As Áreas Marinhas Protegidas têm se mostrado alternativas interessantes para a manutenção dos recursos pesqueiros, principalmente aquelas denominadas Reservas Extrativistas (RESEXs) Marinhas. As RESEXs Marinhas, além de assegurarem o direito consuetudinário de posse para as comunidades extrativistas tradicionais, proveem a ação da gestão compartilhada como instrumento de manejo. A gestão compartilhada é fundamental por objetivar a integração de todos os atores envolvidos no processo de manejo dos recursos naturais, desde a esfera local até a governamental, o que promove o estímulo de práticas mais democráticas e socialmente mais justas.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar qual é o sentido geográfico da dinâmica da festa em seu âmbito relacional. Para isso, fomos ao Santuário de Fátima em Fortaleza-CE na tentativa de analisarmos os movimentos (dinâmicas verticais e horizontais) que constroem o sentido festivo que o Santuário possui, assim como a legitimação e a posteridade que a festa oferece às representações a ela vinculadas. A geografia relacional entra, nesse sentido, como prática cotidiana responsável pela elaboração do momento efêmero que é a festa e os seus rebatimentos espaço-temporais que acompanham o sentido do Santuário de Fátima permanentemente.

Abstract This essay explores the persistence of the concept of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) in global multilateral fishing law. It argues that MSY has contributed to the unsustainable governance of fishing activities by focusing on open access and catch-based management, instead of effort-based management. In response to the dire state of world fish stocks, it has been proposed to cut subsidies to the sector, restrict trade in endangered fish species, install marine protected areas and mainstream the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). This essay proposes that the FAO’s EAF, which links in to social-ecological resilience thinking, suggests a new philosophy for fisheries management that offers a basis for introducing the aforementioned measures.

The Baltic

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are designated parts of the ocean that restrict human activities to a certain degree. MPAs are established around the world using a wide range of legislative instruments and thus come in a variety of forms and shapes. Despite being regarded as the “cornerstone” of global marine conservation efforts, they currently cover less than 10% of the ocean surface. Individual MPAs aim to achieve goals ranging from the protection of specific habitats or species to sustaining certain commercial activities, such as fishing. By default, the establishment of MPAs intertwines social, ecological and economic considerations. Yet, the emphasis put on each of these domains can vary substantially when setting on-the-ground objectives, frequently creating conflict among stakeholders. In this manuscript, we first discuss current international conservation targets as well as potential future goals and delve into the question of how to assess the effectiveness of MPAs. Subsequently, we discuss the ambivalent role of this widely applied management tool at the crossroads between biodiversity conservation and fisheries management. Placing MPAs in a social-ecological framework, we call for clear and measurable goals to evaluate MPAs from an interdisciplinary perspective. Finally, we present the Baltic Sea, with its high degree of anthropogenic impact, long fishing history and comparatively extensive MPA coverage, as an interesting case study to investigate the role of MPAs in promoting a sustainable management of the ocean.
