Abstract
The scientific community involved in management of ecosystems has recognized the importance of including spatial considerations in complex marine systems. Spatial management could be the only available tool for high-diverse tropical systems (Sumaila et al. 2000). Therefore, spatial explicit evaluations are needed to explore management policies needed to explore management policies. The present work is an attempt to evaluate the ecosystem effects of Marine Protected Areas in a multi-species and multi-gear fishing system using spatial simulations. Our aim is to detect promising fishing management strategies, mainly where fishing effort is concentrated.
