Baseline Assessment and Baseline Mapping of Coastal and Marine Resources in five Marine Protected Areas (2014)

This paper discusses the increasing trend of participatory mapping initiatives for marine spatial planning (MSP) in both developed and developing countries. While participatory mapping is commonly used for land-related planning, it is still relatively new for MSP. The paper suggests that collecting data on resource use patterns in marine protected areas (MPAs) is a good starting point for management actions. The paper recommends that specific regulations or by-laws be issued to ensure that all data collected within or around the MPA is left with the management body.
