TEAM 89 OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Added by Alex T Vai, last edited by Alex T Vai on Nov 10, 2007
Mainstream Ideas:
10% Plan for No-Take Reserves
https://wikis-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10979679
Can achieve these goals:
Academic "The Journal of Marine Protected Areas" (J. Mar. Prot.)
Recycling funding into maintainence of MPAs
Huge Educational Potential
Non-extractive uses can be economically lucrative
Likely Case Studies:
United States
Peru
New Zealand
Kenya/Tanazania
Zoning Programs Outside of No-Take Reserves Reserves
...
Obviously, some restrictions are required outside of the 10% zones. We provide the principle, other teams provide the specifics of regulatory strategies.
Fair Trade Fish
Similar Programs have been tried in the past, but have had problems with implementation (EcoLabeling, for instance). Has large education potential for developed countries:

Seems like logical continuation of "Seafood Watch Lists"
Important to explicitly put issue into the public awareness
