  • The Existing Network of Marine Protected Areas in American Samoa
    The Existing Network of Marine Protected Areas in American Samoa Matthew Poti1, Matthew S. Kendall2, Gene Brighouse3, Tim Clark4, Kevin Grant3, Lucy Jacob5, Alice Lawrence5, Mike Reynolds4 and Selaina Vaitautolu5 INTRODUCTION Marine Protected Areas and Marine Managed Areas (hereafter referred to collectively as MPAs) are considered key tools for maintaining sustainable reef ecosystems. By limiting or pro- moting particular resource uses and activities in different areas and raising awareness issues on reef sustainability within MPAs, managers can promote long term resiliency. Multiple local and federal agencies have eagerly embraced MPA concepts in Samoa and American Samoa with a diversity of MPAs now in place across the ar- chipelago from the village and local community level to national protected areas and those with international significance. Many of the different MPAs in the network were created through inde- pendent processes and therefore have different objectives, have been in existence for different lengths of time, have a wide range of sizes and Image 19.

Each contributes to the di- verse mosaic of marine resource management in the region (See Text Box: Summary of MPA Programs). Areas Chapter 5 - Marine Protected Understanding the variety of fish, coral, and habitat resources that this multifaceted network of MPAs encom- passes is critical for assessing the scope of current protection and thoughtfully designing additional network elements. Here we seek to summarize what aspects of the coral reef ecosystem are protected by MPAs indi- vidually, through brief summaries of each MPA, and then collectively, through analysis of the combined area encompassed by all MPAs.
