 Hi, my name is Andrew Sangera, I work for the Marine Conservation Society and I'm the UK's overseas territory conservation officer. MCS has been working in the Turks and Caicos Islands, which is an overseas territory of the UK in the Caribbean. I was essentially the man on the ground working with the fishing communities to develop sustainable turtle fishery management policies. While the biological data collection was an important element of this, I think the key thing was actually embedding in these fishing communities, getting trust from these fishermen and engaging them in policy discussions. The enacted legislation, when it did come out, reflected the fishermen's views and their inputs, and it really helped them to embrace this management plan. When you're talking about successful components of MPA management, it really depends where this MPA is located, is it close to shore, is it in the open ocean? Who are the stakeholders involved? What are the reasonings behind the MPA management? From my particular experience working in the Caribbean UK overseas territories, I think the key elements of MPA management are really getting fishers, community groups, those people that are connected and use the sea for their livelihoods, meaningfully engaged in the management discussions. There can be quite a few conflicts. For example, fishermen may have real issues with MPAs in the fact that historically they've been designated without improper consultation. These can be real stumbling blocks, so I think these issues need to be entangled, and they need to be given a proper seat at the decision making table. I think it needs to start right from the beginning, with all stakeholders involved, and I think if fishers can see that their inputs are reflected in the final plan, I think that's one ingredient of a success when it comes to delivering MPAs that are going to provide confirmation benefit.
