  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Marine Protected Areas: A Case Study in Northerneastern Iloilo, Philippines Author: Fernandez, Cheryl Joy Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can be considered as one of powerful conservation tools of fishery resource management in the literature. However, due to continuing environmental awareness and mismanagement, the Philippine government has decentralized the power of legislation and management of its MPAs since the early 2000. This encouraged participation of various sectors such as the Local Government Units, Non-government Organizations, the academes, business enterprises, and multinational corporations though; it has very low success rate statistics. This paper presents an overview of MPA management in Northeastern Iloilo, Philippines and examines its several management strategies. It examines the interaction between the civil society and market forces of institutional arrangements in Northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It further aims to determine the main conflict that causes trade off outcomes in terms of analyzing strategic interactions among economic agents of the different regimes. Several scenarios that resemble conflict between various national, local and international sectors are discussed. It also shows that conflict is one of the reasons why the country has very low success rate statistics - thus a proper evaluation current scenario is imminent.

• 2. [Article] Coastal Marine Protected Areas in Japan and their Institutional Characteristics

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coastal Marine Protected Areas in Japan and their Institutional Characteristics Author: Yagi, Nobuyuki, Takada, Yukiko, Kurokura, Hisashi A survey was conducted to create a comprehensive list of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Japan. There exist more than 1,000 fishery cooperatives in Japan, and many of them have established no-take zones for many years. Such zones are usually not reported to the government and, therefore, the complete picture of the MPAs in Japan has been largely unknown until now. Information on such local MPAs was collected through various sources, and a list of more than 1,000 MPAs was produced. Many of them take the style of self-imposed voluntary regulations. Nonetheless, it was suggested that free-riders of the conservation activities were uncommon. This is because agreements are usually made to maximize the benefit of the group of fishers and each member of the group monitors the compliance status of other members. The government has provided territorial use right for fishers, and this could have helped maintain such a selfgovernance framework.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon Author: Calvanese, Thomas P. The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port Orford, went into effect on January 1, 2012. The boundaries of the RRMR were informed by the experience of local fishermen, but without explicit knowledge of the movement patterns of individual fish. One of the intended effects of this reserve was to provide protection for Pacific rockfishes that had been targeted there by the live fish fishery. We conducted a 17- month acoustic telemetry study to document the movement patterns of 20 individuals (6-7 each) of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus), Quillback Rockfish (S. maliger), and Copper Rockfish (S. caurinus) at Redfish Rocks, Oregon. Objectives were to (1) estimate residence times for individuals of each species, (2) evaluate spatial and temporal movement patterns, and (3) analyze the relationship between habitat attributes and movement patterns. Our results demonstrated that this small (6.78 km2) no-take marine reserve provides refuge for a substantial portion of the local population of these demersal residential fishes, due to those species’ high site fidelity to this patch of high relief rocky reef habitat located within the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve.
