Abstract
⺠A comprehensive list of planning criteria for optimizing compliance in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) was compiled. ⺠Views of recreational fishers and compliance officers for facilitating voluntary compliance in marine protected area and analysis revealed that both groups had similar perspectives and recommendations. ⺠The study provides empirical evidence that adopting manageability criteria during the planning of MPAs could lead to a marked increase in voluntary compliance. ⺠Greater consideration to compliance planning during MPA design and zoning is recommended in order to optimize voluntary compliance.
