Descripción
The workshop, which was organised by FAO in was organised in close collaboration with the University of Washington and the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), took place in FAO, Rome, on 16-18 June 2015. In addition to FAO staff and consultants, 26 researchers and MPA practitioners from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin and North America, and South Asia participated in a mix of plenary presentations, working-group discussions and feedback with plenary-based syntheses and future dire ctions. This report is the output of this workshop which was convened to bring together experts from different disciplines and parts of the world for an initial discussion that would lay the foundation for one or more future working groups that would examine how MPAs affect fisheries and fish and fishing communities, and provide guidance on how to optimise biodiversity, fisheries and livelihoods benefits. The workshop agreed on some tentative elements that could form the basis for further globa l and regional analyses including fisheries, environmental, social, economic and governance dimensions. The workshop outcomes provide a basis for further collaboration through multidisciplinary including experts from around the world.
