摘要

Given the frequent socioeconomic, political and concomitant ecological failures of science-driven marine protected area (MPA) programmes, it is now important to design MPAs by integrating natural and social science research more comprehensively. This study shows how indigenous peoples assisted in the design of MPAs by identifying marine substrates and related resident taxa on aerial photos, information which was then incorporated into a geographical information system (GIS) database, along with dive survey data. Two questions were asked: (1) Is indigenous ecological knowledge accurate enough for mapping the benthos and associated taxa? (2) Is such an approach an appropriate way for assisting in the biological and social design of MPAs in Oceania? Conventional quadrat field dive surveys were used to measure the accuracy of substrate identification by local informants and a visual survey was used to test hypotheses formulated from local knowledge regarding the spatial distribution and relative abundance of non-cryptic species within certain benthic habitats. Equivalence rates between indigenous aerial photo interpretations of dominant benthic substrates and in situ dive surveys were 75-85% for a moderately detailed classification scheme of the benthos, which included nine locally-defined abiotic and biotic benthic classes for the MPA seabed. Similarly, the taxa inventory showed a strong correspondence between the qualitative predictions of local fisherfolk and the quantitative analysis of non-cryptic species distribution, including their relative abundance and geophysical locations. Indigenous people's predictions about the presence or absence of fish in different benthic habitats corresponded 77% and 92% of the time (depending on scoring schema) with in situ visual measurements. These results demonstrate how incorporating local knowledge of benthic heterogeneity, existing biological communities, and particular spatio-temporal events of biological significance into a GIS database can corroborate the production of scientifically reliable base resource maps for designing MPAs in an environmentally and culturally sound fashion. This participatory approach was used to design and then establish MPAs in the Roviana and Vonavona region of the Western Solomon Islands. Under appropriate conditions, interdisciplinary work can complement the design of scientific fishery management and biodiversity conservation prescriptions for coastal Oceania.

(2)这种方法是否是协助大洋洲MPA的生物学和社会设计的适当方法?传统的四边形野外潜水调查用于测量当地信息人识别底物的准确性,而视觉调查则用于测试由有关某些底栖生境中非隐性物种的空间分布和相对丰度的本地知识得出的假设。对于适度详细的底栖动物分类方案,本地的主要底栖生物的航拍照片解释与就地潜水调查之间的当量率是75-85%,其中包括针对MPA海底的九种本地定义的非生物和生物底栖动物类别。同样,分类单元清单显示了当地渔民的定性预测与非隐性物种分布的定量分析之间的强烈对应关系,包括其相对丰度和地球物理位置。土著人对不同底栖生境中鱼类存在或不存在的预测在原位视觉测量中分别占77%和92%的时间(取决于评分方案)。这些结果表明,如何将底栖异质性的本地知识,现有的生物群落以及具有生物学意义的特定时空事件整合到GIS数据库中,可以确证用于以环境和文化上合理的方式设计MPA的科学可靠的基础资源图。这种参与性方法被用来设计然后在所罗门群岛西部的罗维亚纳和沃纳沃纳地区建立海洋保护区。在适当条件下,跨学科工作可以补充沿海大洋洲科学渔业管理和生物多样性保护处方的设计。
