摘要

In recent decades, marine protected areas (MPAs) have become the management measure of choice for cetacean conservation. They are a conspicuous conservation approach, the principle of which is readily understood by the public. Despite the drive to further develop the network of protected areas, the efficacy for cetacean conservation has rarely been considered. Policymakers need to make informed decisions on the best approaches for conservation of these highly charismatic species in circumstances where there are increasing pressures for the development of maritime industries combined with declining resources for conservation. As such, there is now a vital need for a synthesis of the available evidence for the value of MPAs for cetacean conservation. The results of the systematic review undertaken here indicate that in over 80 years of use and over 1000 designations, there is a distinct lack of rigorous published evidence for direct conservation benefits of MPAs for cetaceans. Two studies demonstrated improved survival as a result of MPA designation, although this was insufficient to reverse population declines. One study noted the continued use of an MPA because of management intervention, and another recorded a stable population within an MPA but did not demonstrate that this was attributable to the MPA. In contrast, there were considerably more examples of the failure of protected areas to attain their conservation goals for cetaceans. These were the result of changes in the spatial distribution of the populations for which the protected area had been designated, the lack of enforcement of measures within the site, or the need for additional measures beyond MPA boundaries. This review has highlighted that, for cetaceans at least, the main role of MPAs is in awareness raising and education rather than for direct ecological and/or population conservation purposes. Given the mobility of cetaceans and the widespread nature of many of the anthropogenic pressures to which they are exposed, pragmatic and effective solutions for conservation are required. An adaptive and dynamic approach to the management of human activities presents one possible solution.
