Chapter 1Introduction

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 1 –14

[The most important controversy in fisheries management in recent years has been the debate over marine protected areas (MPAs). The epicentre of this controversy is the issue of whether large networks of no-take MPAs (NTMPAs), more usually known as marine reserves (MRs), are necessary to protect...

Chapter 2The Rise and Rise of the Marine Reserves ‘Bandwagon’

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 15 –23

[In this chapter, we investigate how and why the nature protectionist (NP) paradigm of marine reserves (MRs) became so dominant in the scientific literature during the 1990s and 2000s. The fact that the NP paradigm of MRs became dominant is demonstrated in Chap. 3 and is not in much dispute: What...

Chapter 3Bibliometric Test of the MR ‘Bandwagon’

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 25 –33

[This chapter presents a bibliometric analysis which is designed to test the claims made in Chap. 2 of a marine reserve (MR) ‘bandwagon’. This bibliometric analysis of the peer-reviewed MR literature made use of a social network analysis to identify key scientists and a citation analysis to...

Chapter 4Bias in the Peer-reviewed Literature, and Crossing the Science/Policy Divide

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 35 –50

[One important issue raised by the dominance of MR in marine science is whether there is bias in the way in which scientific research is published. Does MR dominance mean that papers which support the orthodoxy in favour of MRs are more likely to be published than are papers which question MRs?...

Chapter 5Critique of the Scientific Evidence for Fisheries Benefits of MRs

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 51 –80

[Three sets of generalisations about the benefits of MRs are heard from nature protectionists (NPs). First, NPs claim that MRs provide biodiversity benefits. For example, Grorud-Colvert et al. (Marine protected areas: a multidisciplinary approach, 2011, p. 293) asserted that ‘Growing scientific...

Chapter 6Case Study of the ‘English Patient’

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 81 –112

[In this chapter, a case study of England’s recent experiences of a consultation process about the proposed designation of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) is analysed using the debate between NPs and SCs developed in Chap. 1 and the policy network analysis developed in Chap. 2. The English case...

Chapter 7Conclusion

Caveen, Alex; Polunin, Nick; Gray, Tim; Stead, Selina Marguerite

Pages: 113 –133

[This book is a critical analysis of the major controversy that has gripped marine governance during the last 20 years—the vexed issue of marine reserves (MRs). Much of the book has concentrated on assessing the credentials of one side of this controversy—the nature protectionist (NP) argument in...
