Management Scenarios for Effective Conservation Strategies
Explore different management scenarios for sustainable fisheries management, including site-specific, activity-specific, and legislation-dependent approaches. Learn about examples such as gear prohibitions, spatial controls, and effort management to mitigate impacts on marine ecosystems. Discover how these scenarios can lead to similar outcomes and access scenario packs for practical application in conservation sessions.

Example Management Scenarios
Management scenarios may be 1. Site-specific 2. Activity-specific 3. Legislation-dependent
Management Scenario Examples Prohibitions by gear type e.g. closed areas for otter trawling Discussion could include: - What are the consequences of this? - Displacement of fishing effort? - Modification of gear type?
Management Scenario Examples Gear and fishing modifications Design and operation can be modified to reduce impact on seabed Typical bottom Trawl, image credit: SEAFISH
Management Scenario Examples Spatial controls Freezing a fishing footprint e.g. temporarily close an area Zoning Zoning creation of fishing zones Prohibitions by habitat type
Management Scenario Examples Effort controls Removal of effort leading to more effort elsewhere? What are the consequences?
Similar outcomes Some management scenarios will be similar and lead to similar outcomes The focus will be on MPA-specific and activity-specific management scenarios
Scenario packs for next session 1. Information about the MPA 2. Fishing activity maps 3. Site specific fishing activity maps (Swept Area Ratios) 4. Relative Benthic Status maps and table
