ABSTRACT Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can function to meet conservation, tourism, and fisheries objectives. However, effective MPA planning and management is often constrained by limited institutional capacity, a lack of data, and a lack of knowledge integration. If MPAs are to be useful tools for marine resource management, integrated management plans based on applied research must be designed and documented. The goal of this study was to reduce conflicts between tourism and conservation at the Mu Koh Chang National Marine Park, Thailand, by drafting a multiple-use zoning plan. Two studies were conducted to provide the basis for the draft zoning plan. The first study, a coral reef field survey, assessed differences among sites for four criteria: trampling vulnerability, coral life form diversity, coral reef sizes, and suitability for restoring degraded branching Acropora spp. corals (which are threatened throughout much of their range and provide important habitat for many species). The second study administered a survey in four languages to 275 respondents taking part in organized snorkelling tours, and assessed visitor satisfaction, differences in perceptions between subgroups of people, and "Limits of Acceptable Change" (LAC) for social and biophysical indicators of high-quality snorkelling experiences. Six key management recommendations were derived from the coral reef field study and the visitor survey. First of all, a Conservation Zone with tourism and fisheries strictly prohibited should be designated at a site with high vulnerability to trampling, high coral life form diversity, the largest coral reef size, and suitable areas for restoring Acropora spp.. Second, a Restoration Zone, with tourism and fisheries strictly prohibited, should be designated at a heavily degraded site with large amounts of dead Acropora spp.. Third, Tourism Zones should be established and promoted for intensive snorkelling at two sites deep enough to prevent snorkellers from trampling corals, yet shallow enough to permit people floating on the surface to view coral reefs. Fourth, all other snorkelling and diving sites should be designated as Ecotourism Zones managed for more peaceful settings, characterized by fewer people (LAC: 30 people max.), fewer boats (LAC: two boats max.), and smaller boats. Ecotourism Zones are likely to be particularly important for satisfying European and North American tourists, who were shown to be more sensitive to crowding than most Thai visitors. Fifth, the following LAC standards for coral conditions should be applied within both Ecotourism and Tourism Zones: (i) proportion of dead corals<40%, (ii) patches of dead corals<25 m2. Finally, 'no-take' zones should be enforced with both Ecotourism Zones and Tourism Zones, in order to contribute towards conservation and restoration objectives, reduce visitor exposure to fishing gear, enhance visitor safety, enhance fish community aesthetics, and improve satisfaction among visitors with a lot of previous experience snorkelling. This draft zoning plan should be combined with visitor education and nature interpretation programs, fisheries considerations, and improved management of coastal tourism development and aquaculture. Extensive public review is also required, and co-management and adaptive management approaches should be taken during plan implementation.

  • From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom
    “By What Authority Do You Chain Us Like Felons?”: From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom Jarett Henderson, Mount Royal University At 3:00 PM on 2 July 1838, Wolfred Nelson stepped, for the first time since his arrest in December 1837, outside the stone walls of the newly built Montreal Gaol. Iron shackles hung from his wrists and ankles. Heavy chains bound him to Robert Bouchette, who, like 515 other Lower Canadian reformers, had been arrested under the auspices of leading an insurrection against the British empire. That July day Nelson, Bouchette, and six other white British subjects – often identified as patriots – began a journey that took them from Montreal to Quebec to Hamilton, the capital of the British penal colony of Bermuda. Their procession from the gaol to the Canada steamer moored in the St. Lawrence provided these eight men one final opportunity to demonstrate their frustration with irresponsible colonial government. The rhetoric of political enslavement once used by Nelson to agitate for reform had been replaced with iron shackles. This symbol of unfreedom was both personal and political. Furthermore, it provides a vivid example of how Nelson, Bouchette, and their fellow compatriots Rodolphe DesRivières, Henri Gauvin, Siméon Marchesseault, Luc Masson, Touissant Goddu, and Bonaventure Viger’s ideas about the reach of empire had encouraged their political engagement and transformed them from loyal to disloyal, from free to unfree, and from civil to uncivil subjects. Though there is little record of the removal of these men from Lower Canada, we must not take this as an indication that their transportation to Bermuda went unnoticed.

  • 1 Slave Codes and Penal Laws in Eighteenth-Century Jamaica and Ireland
    ‘Slave codes and penal laws’ Slave codes and penal laws in eighteenth-century Jamaica and Ireland: a comparative and historiographical survey* During the long eighteenth century, a period stretching roughly between 1660 and 1840, the British elites of both Ireland and Jamaica faced very similar problems of social control. Both were small and embattled minorities within a society made up mainly of Catholic Irish in the one place and black slaves in the other, who were in general overwhelmingly hostile to elites and unwilling to accept their subordinate status. In Ireland between about 1695 and 1719, the Protestant Ascendancy in the Irish Parliament created a body of laws known as the ‘Penal Laws’ intended to regulate the behaviour of the Catholic Irish population, and to destroy its religious, political, social and economic power. In Jamaica and the West Indies, the planters used colonial assemblies to construct a body of laws known as the slave code, which defined the nature of slavery, the position of slaves, and the power of their masters. Both were comprehensive systems of social control that lasted largely unchanged until they were swept away between 1772 and 1795 in Ireland, and between about 1823 and 1838 in Jamaica and the West Indies. Both have also been the subject of intense reassessment over the past five decades, but have either the codes themselves * I am grateful to James Robertson, David Hayton, Trevor Burnard, Patrick Walsh and the reviewers at the Jamaican Historical Review for their comments, feedback and advice.
