Marine protected areas overall success evaluation (MOSE): A novel integrated framework for assessing management performance and social-ecological benefits of MPAs

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.

The global number of marine protected areas grew exponentially in the last decade to meet international targets. Most of them are partially protected areas (PPAs). Yet, their ecological effectiveness remains unclear due to the high variability of allowed uses. Here, we performed the first global meta-analysis of PPAs following a new regulation-based classification system, to assess their ecological effectiveness. Overall, PPAs are effective relative to unprotected areas but allowed uses are the key feature determining their performance. Highly and moderately regulated PPAs provide higher biomass and abundance of commercial fish species, while weakly regulated PPAs do not exhibit differences relative to unprotected areas. Importantly, the effectiveness of some PPAs can be enhanced by the presence of an adjacent fully protected area (no-take zone). We conclude that limited and well-regulated uses in PPAs and the presence of an adjacent fully protected area confer ecological benefits, on which socio-economic advantages are derived.

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.
