> of
> marine protected areas: a modified Delphi technique"
>
> Marine protected areas (MPAs) are spatially oriented fishery  
> management
> strategies designed to allow exploited species and/or impaired
> ecosystems to recover over time by excluding (partially or fully)
> fishing effort from fishing grounds and essential fish habitats,
> including reefs and spawning sites.  Socioeconomic impacts to fishery
> stakeholders must be identified and measured using the best available
> scientific data and methods as part of the federal regulatory process
> when establishing MPAs in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the
> United States.  This research presents a tractable methodology based  
> on
> consensus among experts that forecasts the types and incidence of  
> these
> impacts and is especially applicable when empirical data are lacking  
> or
> poor in spatial resolution.  The methodology is applied to a
> contemporary regulatory problem resulting in semi-quantitative  
> rankings
> of proposed sites associated with establishing a network of Type 2  
> MPAs
> in the South Atlantic EEZ of the United States.
