Community-based marine protected areas in the Philippines: How effective?
The Philippines has contributed immensely to current knowledge in managing small, community-managed marine protected areas. Recent evidence suggests, however, that management of these areas needs to be improved, and that, furthermore, given the intense fishing effort in surrounding reefs, scattered, small no-take zones are not sufficient to maintain overall fish abundance and diversity. This article examines community-based marine protected area management in the Philippines and recommends measures to improve its effectiveness.
