“…Nonetheless, the species remains important culturally, economically, and ecologically. The anthropological importance of Nassau grouper stems from their role as a cultural symbol (29,55) and as an economic tool (5,39,56), both as a commodity from fishing and for recreational divers/snorkelers to enjoy (57,58). Nassau grouper may also provide important ecological service as a control on populations of mesopredators (59,60) and as a potential predator of the invasive lionfish (61,62).…”

Many large-bodied marine fishes that form spawning aggregations, such as the Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus), have suffered regional overfishing due to exploitation during spawning. In response, marine resource managers in many locations have established marine protected areas or seasonal closures to recover these overfished stocks. The challenge in assessing management effectiveness lies largely in the development of accurate estimates to track stock size through time. For the past 15 y, the Cayman Islands government has taken a series of management actions aimed at recovering collapsed stocks of Nassau grouper. Importantly, the government also partnered with academic and nonprofit organizations to establish a research and monitoring program (Grouper Moon) aimed at documenting the impacts of conservation action. Here, we develop an integrated population model of 2 Cayman Nassau grouper stocks based on both diver-collected mark-resight observations and video censuses. Using both data types across multiple years, we fit parameters for a state-space model for population growth. We show that over the last 15 y the Nassau grouper population on Little Cayman has more than tripled in response to conservation efforts. Census data from Cayman Brac, while more sparse, show a similar pattern. These findings demonstrate that spatial and seasonal closures aimed at rebuilding aggregationbased fisheries can foster conservation success.fish-spawning aggregation | Nassau grouper | integrated population model | mark-resight | tagging

“…Benefícios econômicos para as comunidades locais que incentivam os moradores a prestar apoio à conservação no interior e no entorno da área protegida O turismo que produz benefícios para os moradores próximos pode promover o cuidado e o apoio local à área protegida (Pegas & Stronza, 2008;Biggs, et al, 2011). Por exemplo, depois que o turismo de gorilas aumentou nos parques da África Central, as atitudes entre os moradores vizinhos se tornaram mais favoráveis à área protegida e à conservação de gorilas (Weber, 1987;Blom, 2000;Lepp, 2002) Vasconcellos Pegas, et al, 2013;Hayes, et al, 2015). Em geral, construir um consenso em uma comunidade local para apoiar a conservação demanda anos de compromisso (Quadro 2.4, p. 14).…”

“…Another example from Jordan where NGO-run protected areas generate economic benefits through tourism is summarised in Box 2.3. Recent reviews of this relationship suggest that there are many other factors contributing to local residents' support (de Vasconcellos Pegas, et al, 2013;Hayes, et al, 2015). In general, building consensus within a local community to support conservation requires years of commitment (Box 2.4, p. 14).…”

The France-IUCN partnership aims to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and to the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. It supports projects in countries of particular interest for France, in European overseas territories, and at the global scale. It provides technical expertise, both in mobilizing French organizations and experts, and by seconding senior staff to IUCN. The Partnership includes the ministries of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Ecological and Inclusive Transition, Agriculture and Food, and Overseas territories, as well as the French Development Agency (AFD). Created in 2005, the partnership builds on results achieved over time. From 2017 to 2020, it will reach nearly 9 Million Euros. www.iucn.org/fr/partenariat-france-uicn Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management (PRTM) is one of the three departments within the College of Natural Resources at North Carolina State University. Its mission is to advance scholarship concerning management and use of natural and cultural resources for recreation, tourism, and sport through innovative social science research, teaching, and public engagement. The department aspires to be a community of scholars dedicated to preparing students to be lifelong learners and leaders in a global society committed to developing parks, recreation, tourism, and sport resources that improve the quality of life and are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. cnr.ncsu.edu/prtm The IUCN WCPA Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist (TAPAS) Group is a voluntary network of over 500 people. The mission of the TAPAS Group is to provide a platform for protected area practitioners and others, where expertise and knowledge is shared, sustainability awareness is enhanced, collaboration and dialogue is facilitated, leadership is developed, and innovative solutions are fostered, in order to support the oversight of sustainable tourism in protected area systems. www.iucn.org/theme/protected-areas/wcpa/what-we-do/ tourism-tapas The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which entered into force in December 1993, is an international treaty for the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of the components of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits derived from the use of genetic resources. With 193 Parties, the Convention has near universal participation among countries. The Convention seeks to address all threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services through scientific assessments, the development of tools, incentives and processes, the transfer of technologies and good practices, and the full and active involvement of relevant stakeholders, including indigenous and local communities, youth, NGOs, women and the business community. The tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD, held in 2010, adopted a revised and updated Strategic ...
