Figure 1:
Schematic of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as a Social-Ecological System. Two time-periods – pre and post a marine park re-zoning program – are captured through two sets of interactions. Under the Environmental Commons (EC), ‘Target fish’ are species targeted by commercial and recreational fishers.
Figure 2:
Summary of the stock status of fish listed as targeted by the Line, Net and Trawl fisheries of Queensland (Fisheries Queensland 2011; DAFF 2011). Mulloway, Bay prawns and Jobfish are also listed as targeted species but were not included in the stock status report. Many of the species listed above are also targeted by the recreational fishing sector.
Table 2:
Social and ecological outcomes of management of the GBRMP as coded in the SESMAD database. (Some changes may be the result of management changes that were initiated separately to the re-zoning process but which occurred within the two different time periods.).
Table 3:
List of theoretically important variables and values across two time-periods. Where changes in variables/principles are only associated with the re-zoned time-period they are included in the right-hand column of the table. Where variables did not change with the re-zoning they cut across both time-periods.
