Abstract

This study examined the impact of temporal community-led marine protected areas (tCMPAs) on the fishery income of small-scale fishing households in southern Thailand. These fishing communities encounter numerous challenges, including destructive fishing practices, environmental degradation, and limited market access, jeopardizing their livelihoods. As a bottom–up approach to marine conservation and fisheries management, tCMPAs have been implemented across Thailand with promising results, such as increased fish diversity and abundance. However, their effects on fishing income require further investigation. This study assessed the impact of tCMPAs on fishery income in Nakhon Si Thammarat (treatment/tCMPA group) and Songkhla (control/non-tCMPA group) through a household survey. The propensity score matching analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in fishery productivity values in the tCMPA regions. The robustness of the findings was confirmed using the difference-in-differences method on a different dataset. The study highlights perceived improvements in fish catch trends and fish size among households in the tCMPA group; in contrast, no improvements were observed in the control group. Decentralizing fishing control through community-based management is a practical and effective strategy for coastal resource management. We recommend its broader adoption for sustainable fishery practices.

泰国南部临时性社区主导海洋保护区对渔业收入的影响

本研究考察了泰国南部临时性社区主导的海洋保护区（tCMPAs）对小规模渔业家庭渔业收入的影响。这些渔业社区面临着许多挑战，包括破坏性捕捞、环境退化和市场准入有限，危及他们的生计。作为一种自下而上的海洋保护和渔业管理方法，tcmpa已在泰国各地实施，并取得了可喜的成果，例如增加了鱼类的多样性和丰度。然而，它们对渔业收入的影响需要进一步调查。本研究通过家庭调查评估了tCMPA对那空寺塔玛拉（治疗组/tCMPA组）和宋卡（对照组/非tCMPA组）渔业收入的影响。倾向得分匹配分析显示，粤港澳地区渔业生产力值有统计学上显著的提高。在不同的数据集上使用差异中的差异方法证实了研究结果的稳健性。该研究强调了tCMPA组家庭在鱼类捕捞趋势和鱼类大小方面的改善；相比之下，对照组没有观察到任何改善。通过社区管理分散渔业管制是沿海资源管理的一项切实有效的战略。我们建议更广泛地采用可持续渔业做法。

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
