Abstract

AbstractThis chapter attempts to point out several of the major issues related to the growth of ecotourism/tourism and marine protected areas (MPAs) in an era of climatic change. It begins with a brief summary of the rapid growth of MPAs, the potentially confusing diversity of categories, forms, types, goals and objectives of MPAs, and a few of the many unresolved social and environmental issues related to MPAs. It goes on to lay out the symbiotic relationship between ecotourism and MPAs. Finally, it poses a two-part question: can ecotourism be a tool for conservation and support of MPAs and can successful MPAs likewise enhance ecotourism and the ecotourist experience?
