Description:
"The study indicates that people on Helene will support an MPA if it creates more employment opportunities. With fishing as the most important economic activity there is an assumption that changing to new work activities will become necessary. Thus problems could develop, as already 41% of the adult population is non-wage-earning. The possibility that an MPA could enhance fish stocks was not a widely held view despite the fact that older fishermen were critical of some current fishing practices such as harvesting gravid fish"--Executive summary.
