D 5.1 Review of MPA Effectiveness
• MPAs show great similarities in objectives and application across a
diverse range of marine ecosystems and political settings.
• Limited and sporadic monitoring and assessment critically
compromises the ability to determine MPA effects.
• There is only limited evidence for biodiversity conservation benefits
and for improved fishery yields from the case studies.
• Non-compliance is widespread and compromises MPA success.
• MPAs are established reactively rather than as true networks.
WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
D 5.1 Review of MPA Effectiveness
• There is only limited use of MPAs for biodiversity conservation and
fisheries management.
• Static MPAs are vulnerable to spatiotemporal variation in species
distribution.
• Resource use rules within MPAs strongly influence success.
• Political undermining of MPA designation occurs.
• Socio-political considerations are as important to MPA success as
biophysical considerations.

WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
Interaction of MPAs and traditional management
•Are MPAs part of ‘optimal’ management?
•How large Should MPAs be?
WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
YPR Model
•Minimum basic Yield-Per-Recruit (YPR) model
Based on abalone Haliotis laevigata
Sedentary species with fully mixed larval dispersal
•Protecting reproductive output
Spawning Stock Biomass-Per-Recruit (SSBPR)
Egg production-Per-Recruit (EPR)
•Long term constant maximum recruitment if:
reproductive output >30% unexploited reproductive output
Model Assumptions
•Increasing relative fecundity with age
•Undersize Gear Induced Mortality (UGIM)
•(Age dependant natural mortality)
WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
Policy Scenarios
•Vary management controls to maximise YPR while
protecting 30% of unexploited reproductive output
•Management Controls

The role of MPAs for protecting mobile
dispersing species.
• How do extent of mobility and required MPA
size interact?
• Does the distance of larval dispersal affect the
conclusions?
WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
Dynamic Model
• Age structured population model
Beverton-Holt stock recruitment function
Term for relative fecundity
• 1-d diffusion dispersal model
Varying levels of mobility ‘D’
Larvae either fully mixed or non-dispersing
‘Looped’ model space
• ‘Gravity’ based fishing model
Max effort applied to areas with highest exploitable biomass
WP5 – Improving the basis for MPA planning
Scenarios
• Examined the response of yield to varying:
F, D and % MPA
• Single large or several small MPAs
scenarios run with 1, 2 or 8 MPAs
