  1. Example Management Scenarios

  2. Management scenarios may be… 1. Site-specific 2. Activity-specific 3. Legislation-dependent

  3. Management Scenario Examples • Prohibitions by gear type e.g. closed areas for otter trawling Discussion could include: • What are the consequences of this? • Displacement of fishing effort? • Modification of gear type?

  4. Management Scenario Examples • Gear and fishing modifications Design and operation can be modified to reduce impact on seabed Typical bottom Trawl, image credit: SEAFISH

  5. Management Scenario Examples • Spatial controls Freezing a fishing footprint e.g. temporarily close an area Zoning – creation of fishing zones Prohibitions by habitat type Zoning

  6. Management Scenario Examples • Effort controls Removal of effort… leading to more effort elsewhere? What are the consequences?

  7. Similar outcomes • Some management scenarios will be similar and lead to similar outcomes • The focus will be on MPA-specific and activity-specific management scenarios

  8. Scenario packs for next session • Information about the MPA • Fishing activity maps • Site specific fishing activity maps (Swept Area Ratios) • Relative Benthic Status maps and table
