Questions: Use these questions to guide your discussion:
1. Where was the research undertaken? Who are the authors and what is their affiliation?
2. What is the main aim of the paper?
3. What are the key results/outcomes and conclusions?
4. What are the social contexts (socio-economic, cultural, political, governance) of the research sites in the case studies? How do they differ with respect to the challenges they present toMPA success/outcomes/impacts, etc.?
5. What methods/approach were used for the research? How do they 'fit' the context of the case study location? Were the same/different?
6. What are three key contextual differences between Global South and Global North countriesthat influence MPA outcomes and why? You can think beyond the papers here.
7. In your view, are large no-take MPAs the best way to protect fish stocks in the Global South?Why or why not? Again, you can think beyond the papers here and there are no right orwrong answers!
