Resilience in a Protected Area:
Prospects for Fathom Five National Marine Park,
Lake Huron, Canada
Article by: S.R. Parker and S.D. Murphy
Building or maintaining resilience within a protected area is increasingly cited as a means to achieve long-term conservation goals in the face of climate change and other human impacts (e.g., Mumby et al. 2006; Cole et al. 2008; Pittock et al. 2008; Baron et al. 2009; Lemieux et al. 2011; National Park System Advisory Board Science Committee 2012). Although there is an established body of ecological and social–ecological knowledge related to resilience concepts, in application it is still conceptually and methodologically early in its development. Within this paper, we explore the applicability of a resilience-based approach to planning and management by using Fathom Five National Marine Park as a study area.
