I'd also check out the Locally Managed Marine Area Network - that's usually who I point to when I want a success story: http://www.lmmanetwork.org/

It was initially proposed by Palau's president Tommy Remengesau and has been embraced by the other states of Micronesia. It involves both terrestrial and marine areas. I will be presenting a paper on the Micronesia Challenge as a case study in an MPA at the 10th IWLC in Granada in March. All the best, Howard Howard S. Schiffman, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D. Director, M.S.

I am particularly interested in the question of which approach is more effective to both improving community livelihood and marine/reef environments. As many conservation-based projects seek to create no-fishing zones/conservative MPAs and bring alternative economic livelihood practices to communities, it seems they are generally less successful as hoped. Meanwhile, approaches to reform current fisheries/coastal management practices may lead to the same targets envisioned though not met through conservation approaches, e.g. biodiversity conservation, improved value/profit to communities, improved quality of catch, health, local empowerment...etc. Again, these are just thoughts at the moment and I am grateful for any suggested literature to inform this conversation.
