“…In addition, intensive shipping traffic and offshore industry result in high anthropogenic noise generation (e.g. dredging and disposal, deepening of navigation channels, offshore wind farm construction) (Douvere et al, 2007). Both the environmental characteristics and the anthropogenic noise generation can influence the detection probability within the acoustic receiver network present in the BPNS.…”

Acoustic telemetry is a commonly applied method to investigate the ecology of marine animals and provides a scientific basis for management and conservation. Crucial insight in animal behaviour and ecosystem functioning and dynamics is gained through acoustic receiver networks that are established in many different environments around the globe. The main limitation to this technique is the ability of the receivers to detect the signals from tagged animals present in the nearby area. To interpret acoustic data correctly, understanding influencing factors on the detection probability is critical. Therefore, range test studies are an essential part of acoustic telemetry research. Here, we investigated whether specific environmental factors (i.e. wind, currents, waves, background noise, receiver tilt and azimuth) influence the receiver detection probability for a permanent acoustic receiver network in Belgium. Noise and wind speed in relation to distance, the interaction of receiver tilt and azimuth and current speed were the most influential variables affecting the detection probability in this environment. The study indicated that there is high detection probability up to a distance of circa 200 m. A new setup, making use of features that render valuable information for data analysis and interpretation, was tested and revealed general applicability.

“…There are several MSP case studies worldwide, and among the most comprehensive and long-lasting is the zoning scheme in Australia's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Day 2002). Douvere et al (2007), Douvere (2008), Ardron et al (2008) and Douvere & Ehler (2010) have reviewed MSP case studies. At the European level, there are several drivers for MSP, primarily the EU legislation on conservation (Douvere 2008).…”

“…In 2008, the European Commission published the 'Roadmap for Maritime Spatial Planning' (EC 2008b) for MSP implementation at national and European levels. The process of coastal and marine zoning involves the use of other tools, such as databases for data assimilation, and GIS for spatial data analysis and production of maps which identify conflicting and compatible water uses (Douvere et al 2007, Cömert et al 2008). and Foley et al (2010) provided, respectively, a detailed stepwise approach and the key elements for MSP implementation.…”

Anthropogenic activity has a negative impact on many coastal ecosystems, compromising the significant direct and indirect socio-economic benefits provided in these areas. Maintaining activities that depend on coastal zones while preserving the ecological state of the ecosystems represents a management challenge. Management of coastal zones requires scientifically based knowledge, due to the complexity of the ecological processes which occur in these ecosystems and because of interaction with the socio-economic system. The effectiveness of coastal management instruments and programmes needs to be evaluated to determine the success of adopted measures and to establish improved goals. Some of the research areas that can support coastal management include marine spatial planning, ecological modelling, development of tools to communicate science to managers, and interaction between coastal ecosystems and socio-economics. This paper reviews management instruments to address coastal zone problems and of some research areas to support management.

“…O PEM tem se demonstrado uma ferramenta efetiva no manejo de ecossistemas marinhos (Douvere et al, 2007;Dalton, 2010), sendo ainda pouco utilizado no Brasil (De Freitas et al, 2015). O principal foco do PEM é fornecer informações para um plano estratégico e integrado de gerenciamento da zona costeira (Douvere, 2008).…”

Artigo recebido em 29 de agosto de 2017, versão inal aceita em 3 de dezembro de 2017. RESUMO:A compreensão da distribuição pesqueira no espaço e sua dinâmica ao longo do tempo são essenciais para o sucesso de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas (AMPs). Para tanto, o mapeamento participativo tem se demonstrado uma metodologia efetiva na obtenção dos dados espacializados da pesca artesanal, promovendo processos de tomada de decisão mais participativos. Na região de Peruíbe, existem diversos instrumentos que ordenam a distribuição espacial da pesca de emalhe e estabelecem áreas de restrição à pesca. A im de entender como a pesca artesanal de emalhe inluencia as áreas de exclusão de pesca na região, foram realizadas entrevistas com pescadores que atuam em Peruíbe, nas quais foram conduzidos exercícios de mapeamento participativo. Com isso, foi possível a elaboração de um diagnóstico da distribuição espacial da pesca de emalhe na região de estudo. Foram identiicados pontos onde ocorre o adensamento de pescadores e constatou-se que esses pontos se localizam próximos às Unidades de Conservação (UCs) de proteção integral da região e que, portanto, constituem áreas de incongruência entre os objetivos estabelecidos pelas UCs e o uso por parte dos pescadores. Por esse motivo, um melhor entendimento sobre os motivos da escolha de determinado local de pesca por parte dos pescadores, assim como a previsão de como esses usuários irão se comportar frente ao fechamento de novas áreas para pesca, se fazem necessários para uma gestão mais efetiva das AMPs.Palavras-chave: mapeamento participativo; gestão pesqueira; APA Marinha Litoral Centro. ABSTRACT:The comprehension of how ishing efort is distributed spatially and through time is essential for the success of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). In order to achieve this, participatory mapping has been used as a method to obtain spatial data from artisanal ishermen, promoting more participatory decision-making processes.
