Ongoing global biodiversity loss and the need to move beyond protected areas: a review of the technical and practical shortcomings of protected areas on land and sea (2011, background): “Conflicts may in - clude power struggles, heavy-handed enforcement methods, competing management goals (e.g. fisheries enhancement vs. tourism development; Agardy et al. 2003, Christie et al. 2003, Christie 2004), and land- and resource-use displacement (West et al. 2006).”
Designing indicators for assessing the effects of marine protected areas on coral reef ecosystems: A multidisciplinary standpoint (2005, background): “In the literature, the terms marine reserve, marine protected area, no-take zone, harvest refugia, sanctuary are often used for areas where fishing is totally prohibited (but see Agardy et al. 2003 for a presentation of the terms in use).”
The Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean marine mammals (2008, unknown): “…are a dangerous pitfall of MPA implementation, because the inability to gauge the success of these management actions can result in disillusionment, loss of credibility, and community/ industry backlash against established and future parks and marine zoning initiatives (Agardy et al., 2003).”
Seasonal, diel, and tidal movements of green jobfish (Aprion virescens, Lutjanidae) at remote Hawaiian atolls: implications for marine protected area design (2007, background): “Creating new MPAs of even this size in heavily Wshed areas is diYcult because of resistance from stakeholders (Wolfenden et al. 1994; Cocklin et al. 1998; Agardy et al. 2003 ), hence most existing MPAs are small (74% <10 km 2 ; Halpern 2003) and”
Poverty, sustainability and human wellbeing: A social wellbeing approach to the global fisheries crisis (2011, background): “But while in some cases they can be regarded as a success in terms of the fish, they also have been subject to frequent criticism for being a failure in terms of the humans involved, particularly where universal advocacy neglects local context and need (Agardy et al., 2003).”
Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “Despite these benefits, the implementation of marine reserves has been contentious with some stakeholder groups (Agardy et al., 2003; Voyer et al., 2012; Gladstone, 2014) or criticised for not adequately protecting biodiversity (Edgar, 2011; Devillers et al.”
Models and indicators for assessing conservation and fisheries-related effects of marine protected areas (2008, unknown): “…are theoretical contributions, and that simple models published in well-known journals may have resulted in simplistic prescriptions (e.g. about the minimum size of no-take zones needed to protect fisheries resources), which in turn may hamper progress in marine conservation (Agardy et al. 2003).”
Are marine protected areas a red herring or fisheries panacea (2005, methodology): “However, the implementation of appropriate MPAs is fraught with ecological, economic, and social problems that tend to be overlooked (Agardy et al. 2003).”
