Governing marine protected areas: social-ecological resilience through institutional diversity
Live updates from an IIED critical theme on Governing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by University College, London senior lecturer Peter Jones on October 6, 2014. He explores the argument that the key to the resilience is diversity, both of species in ecosystems and incentives in governance systems
Our last critical theme took place in late June, on Asian Coalition for Community Action. See what to expect here --> http://www.iied.org/critical-theme-introducing-asian-coalition-for-community-action-0 …- VIDEO: The critical theme is starting with a film on The Marine Protected Area Story --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PK5Qq4P9KM … #governingMPA
- .@PJSJones starts our critical theme asking where should the ‘steer’ towards resilient social & ecological systems come from? #governingMPA
- Role of the state is now more important than it's ever been, alongside market forces & public interests, says @PJSJones #governingMPA
There are growing scientific and societal concerns about the degraded state of marine ecosystems #governingMPA pic.twitter.com/ynmPOWoUHB
MPAs are catching on, but there is a lot of catching up to do in terms of coverage #governingMPA pic.twitter.com/rL6CfLMYoG- The effectiveness of MPAs is as important as coverage, @PJSJones tells IIED's critical theme #governingMPAs
Many consider adaptive co-management to be the answer - but is this too simplistic and linear? #governingMPA pic.twitter.com/1b8f0QQs60- Recognising governance complexity & diversity is the key question the #governingMPA project aims to address
- We need a way of looking at MPA governance that can see all the issues and approaches, says @PJSJones #governingMPA
Amish: A great deal of what we see depends on what we are looking for. Our eyes can be easily deceived #governingMPA pic.twitter.com/paAAA5EqP8- In that last image tweeted, all of the horizontal lines are actually straight! #governingMPA

Driving forces are major & increasing challenge for #governingMPA - can perturb/disrupt/collapse governance framework pic.twitter.com/qHkrtM6S3j
What key attribute confers stability in governance systems? #governingMPA pic.twitter.com/TRVGEQNO85- Just as you need ‘right’ species assemblages for partic ecosystem, important to have ‘right’ incentives for partic #governingMPA context
