Abstract
|
This study seeks to fill this gap by developing a methodology for conducting rapid
socioeconomic assessments of coral reef user groups. This methodology was applied to a sitespecific case study, a rapid socioeconomic assessment of the three primary user groups of Montego Bay Marine Park, Jamaica: fishers, watersports operators, and hoteliers. The utility of this methodology was demonstrated by considering the management implications of these findings for
Montego Bay Marine Park. The project is part of a larger World Bank study that is exploring and testing a valuation methodology for the estimation of benefits derived from coral reefs in the developing tropics. The overall objective of the broader World Bank project is to assist policy makers in managing and protecting coral reefs through improved estimates of benefits, and is to be used in conjunction with a management interventions least-cost model being developed concurrently. The
socioeconomic component of the project as presented here will assist in identifying an economically efficient outcome that is also socially viable.
The socioeconomic basis of reef-related activities within Montego Bay Marine Park, including fishing, watersports activities, and hotel operations, were examined and the management implications of these activities evaluated during a six-week field period in January and February, 1998. Through document and database analysis, interviews with individuals representative of their user group, and participation observation of user activities, data on the following socioeconomic variables were collected: (i) characteristics of the user groups’ activities; (ii) characteristics of the user groups themselves; and (iii) users’ perceptions of reef management. In addition, scoping meetings and telephone surveys were conducted with representative individuals from each user group to discuss
major concerns with respect to future management of the Montego Bay Marine Park, specific actions proposed by the users to address these concerns, and the role of each user group in the future management of the Park.
Analysis of the socioeconomic background of the user groups highlighted several
socioeconomic factors with management implications, specifically: 1) patterns of use; 2) the level of dependence on the resource; 3) the cultural value of reef activities; 4) ethnicity; 5) relations within and among user groups; 6) the nature of indirect links to the Montego Bay community; 7) the level of awareness and concern for the resource; 8) relations with the Montego Bay Marine Park; and, 9)
the nature and extent of resources of use to management efforts.

Abstract
|
This manual is intended to help reef managers understand the steps in a socioeconomic assessment, and provide practical guidelines on how to conduct baseline socioeconomic assessments of coral reef stakeholders. The step-by-step process in this manual can be used to assess the socioeconomic background of coral reef stakeholders. The social, cultural and economic issues are discussed as well as the organisation and resource governance of coral reef management.
The socioeconomic information collected and the processes suggested here will help reef managers in management, development, research, monitoring and policy at a site. The baseline information may also contribute to national, regional and international comparisons of data, which are useful for science and policy-making.
This manual will also be used to gather socioeconomic information in parallel with biophysical assessments and monitoring being conducted by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) and Reef Check. Both involve collecting data on corals, fishes, other biota and physical parameters using transect lines across the reef. Reef Check works with communities and volunteers who have limited experience and training (see methods in www.reefcheck.org). GCRMN monitoring (methods in English et al. 1997) gathers more data on more parameters along the transects, but requires more training and takes more time than Reef Check protocols. The goal of GCRMN and Reef Check is to gather biophysical and socioeconomic data at the same time, and often with the same team collecting both types of data. This combination of biophysical and socioeconomic information will assist reef managers in sustainable management of the resources.

During the period of 1998-2002, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) South Asia, sponsored socioeconomic assessments and monitoring training for sites with significant coral reef habitats in the region and followed this up with community based socioeconomic monitoring demonstration projects at five sites where some biophysical surveys had been carried out: three in India (Andaman Islands, Lakshadweep Islands and the Gulf of Mannar) and one each in Sri Lanka and Maldives. Each team received practical training in using the GCRMN Socioeconomic Manual for Coral Reef Management (GCRMN Manual) and to establish a monitoring programme at their field sites. A drawback of the manual was that while it dealt with methods for socioeconomic assessments, it did not touch upon the issue of monitoring. Hence the South Asia field teams
were not clear on how to conduct monitoring. They requested a simplified set of guidelines outlining a practical monitoring protocol that could be applied specifically at the site level. During the Coral Reef and Livelihoods Initiative (CORALI) workshops held in 2007-2008 (an Asia regional initiative with a focus on South Asia, as supported with EU and Finnish Foreign Ministry funding), the CORALI teams from South Asia debated the concept and relevance of SocMon to their work, which often dealt with extremely poor resource users and hence required to pay special attention to the relative levels of poverty among resource users. They were also concerned that socioeconomic monitoring was equivalent to policing communities through monitoring people’s activities, and therefore constituted an intrusion into people’s privacy. They suggested that monitoring should be community driven and owned. All this has implications on how data should be collected, and from this evolved an approach that focused on monitoring change from the people’s perspective. The rationale
behind this approach was that changes in the community’s perspective are of key importance to management and this is one of the most important contexts in which monitoring needs to be carried out.
The SocMon South Asia monitoring guidelines have been developed, keeping in mind that managers of coastal and marine habitats, environment wardens and volunteer teams from the local community, require a clear direction in carrying out socioeconomic monitoring. SocMon South Asia compliments the GCRMN Manual by providing a simpler, more structured set of guidelines, which can then be tailored to site needs. The two documents are meant to be used together – SocMon provides the guidelines for the priority indicators to assess, and the GCRMN Manual for details of how to do it.
SocMon South Asia highlights experiences from South Asia and draws upon the rich experiences of organisations, projects and programmes that have been actively working with communities in the region for over 10 years: The Coastal Resource Management Project (CRMP) in Sri Lanka; a local community based organisation (CBO), Foundation of Eydhafushi Youth Linkage (FEYLI) and the Atoll Ecosystem Conservation Project in Baa Atoll, Maldives; Indian organisations the People’s Action for Development (PAD) based in the Gulf of Mannar, the Andaman and Nicobar Environment Team (ANET) working in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the Centre for Action Research on Environment Science and Society (CARESS) working in the Lakshadweep Islands, have been working on coral reef issues involving local communities for the past decade. In the process, they have developed relevant participatory tools which they feel will be useful for managers. SocMon South Asia is the product of substantial collaboration among social scientists, local communities, and coastal managers in the region. The SocMon South Asia goals of socioeconomic information, variables and overall structure were developed by building on SocMon South East Asia, SocMon Caribbean, SocMon Western Indian Ocean and our experiences with local communities.
SocMon South Asia is a part of a continuing global effort to bring biophysical and socioeconomic monitoring to complement each other and thereby enhance understanding of communities and their relationship to coastal and marine resources. This manual is to be treated as a work in progress and will be updated as and when we receive the feedback from the coastal managers, institutions and community based organisations that use the manual.

Abstract
|
Developed in conjunction with regional partners, WCPA-Marine has published new guidelines to help coastal managers in Southeast Asia enhance their understanding of communities and their relationship to coastal and marine resources. The Socioeconomic Guidelines for Coastal Managers in Southeast Asia, published in March 2003, outline a process for conducting socioeconomic surveys of coastal populations. SocMon SEA is a complement to the 2000 GCRMN Socioeconomic Manual for Coral Reef Managers and is the product of substantial collaboration among social scientists and coastal managers in the region. In particular the SocMon Southeast Asia Advisory Board, which is a balance of social scientists and coastal managers, provided significant project direction and technical input. The SocMon purposes of socioeconomic information, indicators and overall structure were brainstormed by the Board during a mini-workshop held in August 2002 in Iloilo, Philippines.

SocMon Caribbean is the product of substantial collaboration among social scientists and coastal managers in the region. In particular the SocMon Caribbean Advisory Board, which is a balance of social scientists and coastal managers, provided significant project direction and technical input. The SocMon Caribbean goals of socioeconomic information, variables and overall structure were developed by building on SocMon SEA during a mini-workshop held in November 2002 in Tulum, Mexico. Leah Bunce (NOAA/WCPA-Marine) and Bob Pomeroy (University of Connecticut) then developed the ideas into this document. The Board includes: Patrick McConney (Chair, University of West Indies, Barbados), Janice Cumberbatch (University of West Indies, Barbados), Lindsay Garbutt (Friends of Nature, Belize), Vijay Krishnarayan (CANARI, Trinidad a nd Tobago), Demetrio Martinez (MBRS Project, Belize), Andre Miller (Coastal Zone Management Unit, Barbados), Peter Murray (Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, St. Lucia), Ileana Solares Leal (Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico) and Manuel Valdes-Pizzini (University of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico).
The draft of SocMon Caribbean was critiqued by an extensive network of reviewers. Particular appreciation goes to the following people for their insightful comments: Murray Rudd, Mike Mascia, Floyd Homer, David Shim, Lyndon Robertson, Kemraj Parsram, Susanna Scott, Leandra Ricketts, Sarah McIntosh, Enriqueta Hawkins Powell, Arthur Potts, Josephine Langley, Rosemary Delaney, Bisessar Chakalall, Kai Wulf, Jon Pugh and the SocMon Caribbean Advisory Board. Special thanks also go to Steve Morrison and Elizabeth Ban of NOAA and Michael James and Sheri Beauregard of The DesignPond, who coordinated and conducted the proofing, layout and printing. Funding for SocMon Caribbean was provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
SocMon Caribbean is part of a continuing regional program to enhance understanding of communities and their relationship to coastal and marine resources. Coordinated by the University of West Indies, socioeconomic training workshops are planned throughout the region for coastal managers to learn how to use SocMon. These workshops will be followed by the development of socioeconomic monitoring programs at participant sites.
