This study was undertaken as part of a larger study on the conservation planning for marine
biodiversity of the south Cape coast. It was conducted as a student project by the students of the
2006 Conservation Biology MSc programme at the University of Cape Town.
The aim of this project was to provide preliminary estimates of the costs and benefits associated with
the MPAs on the Garden Route coast (Goukamma, Robberg and Tsitsikamma), and to estimate how
these costs and benefits might change under different scenarios of MPA size and management
intensity.
