As one of the fisheries management tools, the No-Take Zone (NTZ) concept prohibits any direct human disturbance of all forms in the protected area. Together with the conventional fisheries conservation management measures NTZs will enhance protection of marine wildlife and heritage and safeguarding or improving local fish stocks. This study examines the effects of using the No-Take Zone (NTZ) concept in MPAs on the marine resource enhancement as well as socio-economic conditions of local communities and stakeholders in Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman. Data have been obtained from a survey involving 212 stakeholders who are directly on indirectly affected by the establishment of the MPAs and the NTZs. The assessment of the impacts is in on their livelihoods and other economic conditions and as a means in conserving and enhancing fisheries resources. The results of the analyses indicate that the stakeholders believe that the establishment of the 2 nautical-mile NTZ has complemented the benefits obtained from MPA. The communities perceive that more benefits can be obtained if the government and local community manage the MPAs together. The stakeholders realize that MPAs produce impacts beyond the monetary returns, the contingent valuation (WTP) and WTA) analyses prove that the stakeholders place values on the resources and are willing to help in the production and conversation of the resources including the decision to established the NTZ.

Abstract

As one of the fisheries management tools, the No-Take Zone (NTZ) concept prohibits any direct human disturbance of all forms in the protected area. Together with the conventional fisheries conservation management measures NTZs will enhance protection of marine wildlife and heritage and safeguarding or improving local fish stocks. This study examines the effects of using the No-Take Zone (NTZ) concept in MPAs on the marine resource enhancement as well as socio-economic conditions of local communities and stakeholders in Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman. Data have been obtained from a survey involving 212 stakeholders who are directly on indirectly affected by the establishment of the MPAs and the NTZs. The assessment of the impacts is in on their livelihoods and other economic conditions and as a means in conserving and enhancing fisheries resources. The results of the analyses indicate that the stakeholders believe that the establishment of the 2 nautical-mile NTZ has complemented the benefits obtained from MPA. The communities perceive that more benefits can be obtained if the government and local community manage the MPAs together. The stakeholders realize that MPAs produce impacts beyond the monetary returns, the contingent valuation (WTP) and WTA) analyses prove that the stakeholders place values on the resources and are willing to help in the production and conversation of the resources including the decision to established the NTZ.
