Abstract
In total, nine case studies in the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Atlantic EU Western Waters and some outermost regions (Madeira and Canary Islands) were selected to gather more information on the response of the fishing activities to MPA designation and implementation. The selection of case studies is well-spread in the different sea basins, cover an array of Member States, but also vary in the type of species (e.g. fish, crustacea, bivalves) and level of MPA protection (e.g. no-take, multi-zone, with buffer areas). In the case studies, the fisheries response to MPAs are analysed based on qualitative and/or quantitative analytical approaches, using available data and/or a stakeholder survey.
