Marine protected areas in Costa Rica: How do artisanal fishers respond?

Costa Rica is considering expanding their marine protected areas (MPAs) to conserve marine resources. Due to the importance of households’ responses to an MPA in defining the MPA’s ecological and economic outcomes, this paper uses an economic decision framework to interpret data from near-MPA househ...

Due to the importance of households’ responses to an MPA in defining the MPA’s ecological and economic outcomes, this paper uses an economic decision framework to interpret data from near-MPA household surveys to inform this policy discussion. The model and data suggest that the impact of expanding MPAs relies on levels of enforcement and onshore wages. If larger near-shore MPAs can produce high wages through increased tourism, MPA expansions could provide ecological benefits with low burdens to communities. Due to distance costs and gear investments, however, MPAs farther off-shore may place high burdens on off-shore fishers. 2020-08-26T22:31:09Z 2020-08-26T22:31:09Z 2017 Artículo ISSN 0044-7447 DOI 10.1007/s13280-017-0921-y https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/9532 en Ambio A Journal of the Human Environment, Volumen 46, Number 4 (Abril 2017) info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess application/pdf
