Abstract

[Extract] Claudet presents six conditions that can erroneously lead people to consider marine protected areas (MPAs) ineffective. Here, I expand on a briefly addressed, yet critical consideration that Claudet raises. The essence of Claudet’s sixth condition (i.e. failing to account for poaching would lead to erroneous conclusions that MPAs are ineffective) is that MPAs are inherently effective, as long as poaching is accounted for. However, a more conventional outlook is that if an MPA is poached, it is ineffective (or at least less effective). Poaching is defined here as fishing in no-take reserves or zones of MPAs where extractive uses are prohibited—these reserves can comprise only a portion, or the entirety of an MPA, depending on its specific goals and definition (see Day 2017).
