| Forests in Indonesia | Governance | Indonesian "Adat" Communities | Negative (1) | This is actually the subject of debate. Many argue that adat communities did not have a significant impact on forests - or if they did it was the result of their exclusion from other economic activities - see for example, Peluso 1992 & Dove 1996. However other studies show that there was an impact, and that activities by these communities did have a negative impact (e.g. Heydir 1999). In resolving this debate, it is probably useful to consider proximate and underlying causes - rural communities may have frequently been the proximate cause of forest cover change, while the ultimate cause of their activities may have rested elsewhere in the political system. |

| Forests in Indonesia | Governance | "New Order" Indonesian Central Government (1965-1998) | Negative (1) | The governance system in this period aimed to increase profitability of forest related industries by liquidating existing stocks of forests, and thus contributed to worsening the condition of the forests. |

|---|
| Forests in Indonesia | Governance | "Reformasi" Indonesian Central Government (1998-2012) | Negative (1) | This is very debatable. Some would argue that the govt. has improved the govenrance of the forests, resulting in lower deforestation, but there is substantial evidence that any decreases in deforestation rates may be due to other factors, and that this group contributed to increasing deforestation. See Arnold (2008) and Fleischman et al. (2014). |

Catches had increased over this period and may have contributed to later declines. Nonetheless, during the interval ICCAT's activities appear to have contributed to a relatively stable resource stock. |

|---|
| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Macquarie Island Managers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | The population has remained stable based upon the best available evidence. It is possible that the eradication of invasive rats, mice, rabbits and cats will benefit the population over longer time periods. |

| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR recreational fishers | Negative (1) | If there was no recreational fishing, target fish would be better off. That said, participation in recreational fishing has declined. While rec fishing is still considered an important impact on target fish, reduced participation and compliance to fisheries regulations and MPA rules means they are having less of an effect than they used to. |

| Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Commercial Fishers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | Entanglement and vessel disturbance are threats to southern right whales caused by commercial fishing. Reports, although an underestimate, appear to be minimal with 1 fatal entanglement and 12 non-fatal entanglements of southern right whales recorded 1950–2006 (Kemper et al. 2006). |
|---|
| Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Shrimp Fishers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | Fishing reduces the shrimp population. However, regulations aim to keep the population healthy, and the NAFO (2012b) indicates that the shrimp population is in ‘satisfactory condition’. The estimates of shrimp biomass have fluctuated throughout the snapshot, but appear reasonably stable over time. Therefore, although fishing would always have a ‘negative impact’ this impact on the population may be well-regulated so that the impact is small. |

| Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP) (Commonwealth Waters) | Governance | GABMP (Commonwealth Waters) Commercial Fishers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | Although SBT populations are heavily depleted, Australian Commercial fishers have followed their alloted quotas for SBT and for this snap-shot and SBT stocks appear stable - so coded as no real effect for this snap shot.
The SBT has been intensively fished since the 1950s and the decline in the total population of SBT to 7-15% of the 1960 parental biomass is well documented (FSC 2009). Based on the median results of this most recent stock assessment, there has been an estimated 85.4% decline in spawning stock biomass over the past 36 years from 1973 to 2009 (CCSBT 2010). |

| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR commercial fishers | Negative (1) | Although the effects of bycatch are difficult to assess (in part because there is likely many instances where it is not reported (GBR Outlook Report 2014)), bycatch may be considerable (Robbins 1999, Hays et al 2003). |

|---|
| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Australian Antarctic Division | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | The population would likely be doing the same without the management plan in place. Protection of breeding sights on the islands is largely de facto based on isolation rather than active management. Effective protection on the water has less to do with the no-take marine reserve, but is rather a result of fisheries measures which work to prevent the incidental catch of albatross. |
|---|
| Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve | Governance | Australian Toothfish Fishers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | While the threat remains for light mantled albatross to be incidentally caught in toothfish longline operations at HIMI (this area is considered a Category 4: average to high risk of incidental mortality of seabirds; CCAMLR 2013), there have been no reported deaths of light mantled albatross (between 2004-2013, data reported to ACAP) and very few reported deaths of all seabirds. |

During this time period, the limits set by the managers were based on consensus rather than science, with fishing allowed even when densities were too low, and poor enforcement of rules and regulations. Huge outside pressure from Asian markets driving illegal and over-fishing.
Multiple papers state that governance effectiveness has been undermined by consensus rather than science-based policies. (Shepherd et al 2004) |

| Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi Bajau fishers | No real effect or mixed effects (2) | Difficult to determine due to lack of data on turtple populations and catch composition.

From Hearn interview: "there are still schools of sharks. But population trends depends who you speak to - dive guides will say there’s a lot less sharks than there were in the past especially in the centre of the archipelago. Overall, no long term data sets, so more focussed on people’s perception of shark numbers. Inferences are that whale sharks numbers have been unaffected, Hammerheads keep on declining. Reef sharks are increasing, and tigers are more common. But there are also a lot more divers now." |
|---|
| Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) | Governance | Galapagos Tourism Sector | Positive (3) | Coded as positive because of interest in dive tourism and shark conservation and education, huge lobbying effort by tourism sector for areas with high shark densities to be protected (Jones 2013, Hearn et al 2013) |

|---|
| Central California National Marine Sanctuaries | Governance | National Marine Sanctuaries Office of NOAA | Positive (3) | Protection has led to increased protection of rocky shore habitat from trampling, pollution, oil spills, maintaining biodiversity in systems and likely leading to the fast resilience of the habitat. The Sanctuary's efforts to increase water quality has had a positive impact on this habitat. |

| Svalbard Nature Reserves | Governance | Svalbard Resource Managers | Positive (3) | Monitoring that people are abiding by the rules (e.g. no hunting, not going to close to the bears) and enforcing infractions has likely prevented unnecessary bear deaths, which would have a positive outcome for the population. However, this positive benefit may be small in magnitude. |

| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR government co-managers | Positive (3) | Monitoring and enforcement of legislation and adherence to the marine zones have most likely had a positive impact on the turtle population - protection of major rookeries, mandatory use of turtle excluding devices for fishing since early 2000s |
|---|
| Great Barrier Reef Marine Park | Governance | GBR fisheries managers | Positive (3) | The Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracks the location of commercial vessels, and Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol conducts on the water monitoring to ensure compliance with the laws.
