TL;DR: The role of a marine protected area in enhancing local fisheries, through the emigration or spillover of exploitable fishes, was studied in a coral reef park (Mombasa Marine Park, Kenya) and fishery over a seven-year period during a time when the park's border changed and pull seines were eliminated as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in cases where the resources for enforcement are lacking, management regimes that are designed to meet community goals can achieve greater compliance and subsequent conservation success than regimes designed primarily for biodiversity conservation.

TL;DR: It is shown that comanagement is largely successful at meeting social and ecological goals, and tends to benefit wealthier resource users and institutional characteristics strongly influence livelihood and compliance outcomes, yet have little effect on ecological conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined three dimensions of vulnerability (exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) of 29 coastal communities across five western Indian Ocean countries to the impacts of coral bleaching on fishery returns, and developed a novel, network-based approach to examine sensitivity to changes in the fishery that incorporates linkages between fishery and non-fishery occupations.
