Benefits And Costs

Legislated marine "protected" areas are now widely distributed throughout tropical and temperate waters, but the nature of human activities actually restricted in any area varies. This ambiguity about what "protected" means has resulted in contradictory claims as to both the benefits and costs of marine protected areas. Here, we give our perspective on the current status of marine resource protection in Canada in general and British Columbia in particular. We first describe and discuss the history of Canadian marine protected areas established to date. Many areas are claimed to be protected, with little understanding by either the general public or even most marine resource experts as to what human activities are actually regulated by legislative designations. Second, we present an overview of biological reasons and objectives for marine protected areas, followed by a review of both the conservation and fisheries management effects and implications resulting from effective renewable resource protection. Finally, we propose a unique qualitative scheme for classifying and describing marine protected areas of different types to determine relative measures of protection.

<i>Abstract</i> .—The development and implementation of marine protected areas (MPA) has become a perplexing issue for the marine recreational fishing community. While recreational fishermen, and the industry that serves them, have a strong historic record of fostering conservation and environmental issues to ensure the long-term stability of the fishery resource, as a community they are confused with the recent spate of state and federal no-fishing zones in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, and Pacific Ocean, created under the banner of MPAs. The actions are interpreted by many in the marine recreational fishing community as arbitrary measures that result in denying recreational fishermen access to marine fishery resources. Marine protected areas are increasingly seen as rekindling of the historic debate of the definition and application of conservation: sustainable use versus protectionism. The marine recreational fishing community generally supports the ecosystem-based management inherent in the MPA movement but views with great skepticism the arbitrary application of no-take zones as manifestation of protectionist conservation. The recreational fishing community aligns with the sustainable-use conservation paradigm. There is ample analogous history of developing public policy for the protection of public lands. This paper explores the history of public protected lands. From conceptualization to legislation, regulations, and implementation, public land policy has resulted in a vast infrastructure that is regarded as a national treasure. It looks at the spectrum, spanning sustainable use to protectionism, and how these polar definitions have been successfully brought to compromise around the issue of access in the past.

Conservation Prioritisation

AbstractAs habitat loss is a major driver of amphibian population declines, protected areas (PAs) can play a crucial role in amphibian conservation. Documenting how well the global PA network captures the evolutionary history of amphibians can inform conservation prioritisation and action. We conducted a phylogenetic gap analysis to assess the extent to which amphibian phylogenetic diversity (PD) is unprotected by the PA network and compared this to other terrestrial vertebrate groups. 78% of amphibian species and 64% of global amphibian PD remains unprotected, which is higher than corresponding figures for squamates, mammals and birds. Amongst amphibians, salamanders were the least well protected, with 78% of PD unprotected, compared with 64% for caecilians and 63% for frogs. We identify areas that offer the greatest opportunity to capture unprotected amphibian evolutionary history. We could capture an additional 29.4% of amphibian PD, representing 40 billion years of evolutionary history, by protecting an additional 1.9% of global amphibian distributions (1.74% of global land area) and increasing the restrictions in 0.6% of amphibian distributions to match the management objectives of PAs in IUCN categories I or II. Importantly, we found that the spatial distribution of unprotected PD was correlated across all groups, indicating that expanding the PA network to conserve amphibian PD can secure imperilled vertebrate diversity more generally.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
