Moving Beyond Paper Parks: Improving Compliance and Enforcement: Measuring and Improving Marine Protected Area Effectiveness
The objective of this paper is to present an example of enforcement in a marine protected area (MPA) where the primary goal is compliance. Education can lead to greater overall compliance in the shorter timeframe for the majority of MPA users. The most effective means of ensuring the compliance to legislation in MPAs is through public education and enlisting the help of user groups in management. This makes education and peer pressure important components of an enforcement initiative. When education and peer pressure do not work, which is true of a small percentage of MPA users, other more traditional enforcement tools must be utilized. This is essential if the. long-term respect and compliance is expected of the general population of users. A small group of relentless violators will quickly erode at the effectiveness of the overall enforcement goals in a MPA.
