Changes in assemblage structure are examined more rarely: early papers mostly relied on descriptive multivariate methods which do not allow statistical inference (Dufour et al 1995;Russ and Alcala 1998;Paddack and Estes 2000), although a few recent papers use multivariate inferential methods (Micheli et al 2005;Ceccherelli et al 2006;Claudet et al 2006) The examination of the literature reveals that significant differences are obtained for some particular species (e.g. Bell 1983;Paddack and Estes 2000;García-Charton et al 2004), taxonomic families (e.g.…”

In 2006, a validation and update of the habitats map was carried out, both with the analysis (and in some case re-analysis) of SCUBA survey campaigns spanning 1989 -2005 and with the collection and re-interpretation of data from the literature (Addis et al, 2004;Bianchi & Morri, 1994;Bianchi, Morri, & Navone, 2010;Cattaneo-Vietti, Chemello, & Trainito, 1992;Calvisi, Trainito, Pais, Franci, & Schiaparelli, 2003;Ceccherelli et al, 2004;Ceccherelli, Casu, Pala, Pinna, & Sechi, 2006;Ceccherelli, Casu, & Sechi, 2003;Ceccherelli, Casu, & Sechi, 2005;Cossu & Gazale, 1996a, 1996bCossu, Gazale, & Baroli, 1992;Cudoni & Chessa, 1991;Guidetti and Cattaneo-Vietti, 2002;Guidetti et al, 2004;Murenu et al, 2005;Pais, Trainito, Romor, & Contis, 1992;Pais, Chessa, Serra, Mura, & Ligios 1999;Schiaparelli, Guidetti, & Cattaneo-Vietti, 2003).…”

Habitat mapping plays a key role in the management and conservation of natural systems. In protected areas, where sustainable development is always subordinate to conservation efforts, maps are largely used to represent habitats, development pressures, tourist facilities or legal restrictions such as the zoning of a protected area. Some authors have recently developed a methodology that allows the production of a set of maps for the management of marine protected areas. In this paper, we present the application of this methodology to the case study of the marine protected area 'Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo'.

“…In particular, the densities of dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), a large predatory fish commonly targeted by recreational and commercial fishing, showed an average increase of six to11 times, depending on the habitat type considered, within the no-take zones but not outside (Guidetti et al 2007). The TPCC also has low abundances of alien species, and relatively healthy benthic communities (Ceccherelli et al 2006, Sala et al 2012. Despite high Mediterranean-wide mortality of benthic invertebrates from recent heat waves, reef communities below 25-30 m depth remain healthy and diverse (Cerrano et al 2000, Garrabou et al 2009, Huete-Stauffer et al 2011.…”

ABSTRACT. Understanding how biological conservation and socioeconomic development can be harmonized in socialecological systems is at the core of sustainability science. We present the case of a Mediterranean marine protected area (MPA), the Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo MPA, that exhibits high ecological performance under intense pressure from fishing, tourism, and coastal development. This case study illustrates how socioeconomic development and significant conservation benefits can coexist, even in a challenging context. Based on this case study, we present a framework for what elements and interactions have determined the high ecological performance of this MPA, and highlight the key leverages that have enabled ecosystem recovery. In particular, the most critical elements underlying high performance were sufficient leadership and knowledge to identify a conservation vision and to catalyze some key actors in the implementation of this vision. Thus, success was ultimately determined by the ability of the leadership of the MPA to devise and implement an effective strategy, with the support and participation of key actors that were external to the MPA organization. The insights from this case study may be applicable to improving MPA management in other systems with similar characteristics, including high human pressures and the presence of an MPA authority.
