对海洋保护区的支持日益增加的一个基本假设是，它们符合养护目标，并为渔业和生态旅游业提供经济效益。然而，如果管理人员不能评估各种MPA目标是否正在实现，对MPA的支持将面临风险。目前MPA管理的方法强调需要评估绩效标准;然而，对标准及其评估几乎没有共识。我们提出了一个海洋保护区评估模型（MPAEM），基于和修改从多学科的方法来评估渔业的可持续性，称为快速评估渔业（Rapfish）。在对位于世界不同区域的20个海洋保护区进行的试点研究中，探讨了海洋保护区环境管理的应用。结果表明，MPAEM可以用来评价MPA管理的有效性。然而，在海洋保护区环境管理成为海洋保护区日常管理的一部分之前，应探索评价属性的评分方式和吸引用户群体的方式。
An assumption underlying the growing support for marine protected areas (MPAs) is that they meet conservation goals and provide economic benefits to fisheries and ecotourism. However, support for MPAs will be at risk if managers cannot assess whether various MPA objectives are being fulfilled. Current approaches to MPA management emphasize the need to evaluate performance criteria; however, there is little consensus on criteria and their evaluation. We propose a marine protected area evaluation model (MPAEM), based on and modified from a multidisciplinary approach used to assess the sustainability of fisheries, called rapid appraisal of fisheries (Rapfish). The application of the MPAEM was explored in a pilot study of 20 MPAs located in different regions of the world. Results indicate that the MPAEM can be used to evaluate MPA management effectiveness. However, the manner in which the evaluation attributes are scored and ways of engaging user groups should be explored before MPAEM can become part of the day-to-day management of MPAs.
