Abstract

By examining the role of social networks through time in relation to natural resource management and conservation, the role of social networks is identified as one of the research frontiers for policy-relevant Marine Protected Area (MPA) science. However, not all networks are structurally equal, with research suggesting that different patterns of social relations contribute to different management and governance outcomes. The purpose of this doctoral research is to characterize and assess how social networks enhance and inhibit the governance of MPAs.
