Setting performance indicators for coastal marine protected areas: An expert-ba...
Cardoso-Andrade, Mariana; Queiroga, Henrique; Rangel, M; Sousa, Inês; Belackova, Adela; Bentes, Luis; Oliveira, Frederico; Monteiro, PedroMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) require effective indicators to assess their performance, in compliance with the goals of relevant national and international commitments. Achieving and prioritizing shortlists of multidisciplinary indicators demands a significant effort from specialists to depict the multiple conservation and socioeconomic interests, and the large complexity of natural systems. The present paper d...

Fisher's perceptions about a marine protected area over time
Pita, Cristina Brice; Costa, Barbara Horta e; Franco, Gustavo; Coelho, Rui; Sousa, Inês; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Gonçalves, Jorge M. S.; Erzini, KarimThe perceptions of fishers towards the Arrábida Marine Park, a marine protected area (MPA) in the west coast of Portugal, were studied through face-to-face interviews in two different moments of the MPA life cycle. Fishers' perceptions about the MPA and the impact it had on the fishing activity over time were identified just before the full implementation of the zoning and regulations of the management plan and...
Categorizing ocean conservation targets to avoid a potential false sense of pro...
Horta E Costa, Barbara; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Furtado, Ricardo; Mateus, Celia; Cadeireiro, EmiliaCurrent international commitments on ocean protection targets include protecting 10% of the ocean through marine protected areas (MPAs) until 2020, while also complying with efficiency and equity requirements. This has led to a race to designate large MPAs, but despite the valid marine conservation efforts, conferring adequate protection is still at risk. While fully protected areas are considered the most effi...

Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Claudet, Joachim; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Caro, Anthony; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoDudley et al. [9] commented on our paper [11], arguing that the current IUCN objective-based categorization of protected areas, which is also used in marine protected areas (MPAs), should not be abandoned and replaced by the new regulation-based classification system [11]. Here we clarify that we do not advocate replacing the current IUCN categories, but highlight the benefits of using both the objective-based ...

A regulation-based classification system for marine protected areas (MPAs)
Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Claudet, Joachim; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Caro, Anthony; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoMarine protected areas (MPAs) are a global conservation and management tool to enhance the resilience of linked social-ecological systems with the aim of conserving biodiversity and providing ecosystem services for sustainable use. However, MPAs implemented worldwide include a large variety of zoning and management schemes from single to multiple-zoning and from no-take to multiple-use areas. The current IUCN c...

Tropicalization of fish assemblages in temperate biogeographic transition zones
Horta e Costa, Bárbara; Assis, J.; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Henriques, Miguel; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Caselle, Jennifer E.Biogeographic transition zones in marine temperate systems are often hotspots of biodiversity, with high levels of resilience to short-term climate shifts due to naturally occurring cyclic oscillations of oceanographic conditions. However, these environments are likely vulnerable to a steady global warming scenario in which these cyclical conditions could be disrupted. Here, we evaluate how changes in local oce...
