This research examines the rezoning of Africa's oldest Marine Protected Area (MPA), the Tsitsikamma National Park (TNP) MPA. In December 2016, the TNP MPA was rezoned from 'no-take' to a partially open MPA to provide access for local fishing communities. Here, we examine the different values and beliefs that influence how diverse stakeholders perceive the rezoning process and the subsequent implications for marine conservation. Our research draws on 55 semi-structured key informant interviews (e.g., with communities, scientists, government), as well as a focus group with managers and staff from the South African conservation management authority. Results highlight the conditions through which values and beliefs about the MPA and the zoning effort have been mediated: 1) the historic (i.e., Apartheid) context in which the TNP MPA was created; 2) the disciplinary background, knowledge and lived experience of those involved in the rezoning; and 3) the underlying socio-economic circumstances that affect values and beliefs. Our research also reveals the entrenched perceptions (positive and negative) about the socio-cultural, ecological, regulatory and governance outcomes of rezoning. Ultimately, more collaborative efforts are necessary to reconcile diverse values and beliefs among different stakeholders, and to balance community rights with conservation rezoning objectives.

南非最古老的海洋保护区的权利,资源,区划和治理挑战

这项研究调查了非洲最古老的海洋保护区(Tsitsikamma国家公园(TNP)MPA)的分区。2016年12月,将TNP海洋保护区从“禁止捕捞”改划为部分开放的海洋保护区,为当地捕鱼社区提供出入口。在这里,我们研究了影响不同利益相关者如何看待重新分区过程以及对海洋保护的后续影响的不同价值观和信念。我们的研究利用了55个半结构化关键知情人访谈(例如,与社区,科学家,政府进行的访谈),以及来自南非环境保护管理当局的管理人员和工作人员的焦点小组访谈。结果突出表明了对MPA和分区工作的价值观和信念进行调解的条件:1)历史性(即,创建TNP MPA的种族隔离背景;2)参与重新分区的人员的学科背景,知识和生活经验;3)影响价值观和信念的潜在社会经济环境。我们的研究还揭示了对重新分区的社会文化,生态,监管和治理成果的根深蒂固的认识(正面和负面)。最终,需要更多的协作努力来调和不同利益相关者之间的各种价值观和信念,并在社区权利与保护区划目标之间取得平衡。我们的研究还揭示了对重新分区的社会文化,生态,监管和治理成果的根深蒂固的认识(正面和负面)。最终,需要更多的协作努力来调和不同利益相关者之间的各种价值观和信念,并在社区权利与保护区划目标之间取得平衡。我们的研究还揭示了对重新分区的社会文化,生态,监管和治理成果的根深蒂固的认识(正面和负面)。最终,需要更多的协作努力来调和不同利益相关者之间的各种价值观和信念,并在社区权利与保护区划目标之间取得平衡。
