Abstract

Specific experiences in the Mediterranean region have proven successful in assessing the management effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Today, we recognize MPAs as complex socio-ecological systems where human activities and marine ecosystems interact. This paper is part of a broader context and aims to provide an empirical and analytical study that informs and guides decision-makers. The study analyses the relationship between Pescatourism and the management effectiveness of MPAs, using the case study of the MPA of “Taza” (Algeria, SW Mediterranean). Our research is based on a quantitative study but also incorporates qualitative approaches, whose main tools are questionnaires and interviews. The findings of this study affirm, on the one hand, the potential role of Pescatourism in promoting the sustainable management of marine ecosystems and, on the other hand, the sustainability of local community activities, particularly the artisanal fishing sector, as a vital component of the national socio-cultural heritage. Furthermore, this article presents some paths for consideration regarding their potential synergies, particularly through an integrated approach encompassing fishing and coastal tourism.
