Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This empirical study is an attempt to contribute to the understanding of what factors fishermen value or consider in Marine Protected Area (MPA) planning and management using choice experiment. Results showed that the fishermen in Taggat Norte consider more certain factors such as MPA size and patrol days when evaluating MPA plans. The attribute on expected increment in fish catch although relevant was not accorded significance in their choice behavior. The respondents did not seem to be willing to trade-off the benefit of an uncertain fish catch variable with the more definite cost of increased MPA size or number of patrol days. Policy implications include primary consideration of MPA size when designing MPA plans and considering to some extent voluntary fisher labor in MPA management.
