- This is the follow-up of FishMPABlue, which identified a set of features (so called “regional-based governance toolkit”) that can allow marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve conservation goals while at the same time delivering socio-economic benefits to small scale fisheries
- The aim of FishMPABlue 2 is to test such toolkit (i.e. by implementing these features), on the field in 11 Pilot MPAs located in 6 Med countries (Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Greece), to assess and quantify its effectiveness in achieving expected results in terms of MPA ecological effectiveness, benefits delivered to small scale fisheries and social acceptance of management measures by stakeholders
- After a consultative process engaging the relevant stakeholders (e.g. MPA managers, fishermen etc) to define the features of the toolkit to be implemented in each MPA, scientific monitoring will be carried out concerning ecological, economic and social aspects
