Contested Forms of Governance in Marine Protected Areas - Bown, Natalie (Newcastle University, UK) a Gray, Tim S. (Newcastle University, UK) a Stead, Selina M. (Newcastle University, UK)

In this book the authors examine the governance of marine protected areas (MPA), and in particular they compare two different forms of governance - co-management (CM) and adaptive co-management (ACM). The authors show that there is a symbiotic relationship between mutually-enforcing ecological, socio-economic, and governance factors.
