This ADVANCE Fellows project examines the convergence of two relatively new and increasingly popular trends in state-led environmental resource management: marine protected areas (MPAs) and Geographic Information Science (GIS). It is argued that the combination of state-mandated MPAs and GIS has fostered political struggles and organized resistance among stakeholders (including fishers, environmentalists, and the state) unlike any previous marine resource regulations. While there has been a recent explosion of natural science publications on various dimensions of MPAs, studies on the social dimensions of MPAs are lacking. This project addresses these issues in a comparative study of two recently designed MPAs in the lagoon of Moorea, French Polynesia, and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, California. This comparison is useful because the processes of designation MPAs in each locale were strikingly similar, yet there are differences between the "First" and "Third Worlds," and different scales which will afford compelling analyses. The current conjuncture of the rising popularity of MPAs and the growing adoption of state-based GIS decision-making and management makes this research timely and precedent-setting.This award is supported through the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.

该预先研究员项目研究了国家领导的环境资源管理中两个相对较新且日益流行的趋势的融合：海洋保护区（MPA）和地理信息科学（GIS）。 有人认为，与以前的任何海洋资源法规不同，国家规定的MPA和GIS结合了利益相关者（包括渔民，环保主义者和国家）的政治斗争和有组织的抵抗。 尽管最近关于MPA各个方面的自然科学出版物爆炸了，但缺乏关于MPA的社会维度的研究。 该项目在一项比较研究中解决了这些问题，该研究是对法国波利尼西亚Moorea泻湖和加利福尼亚州海峡群岛国家海洋保护区的两个最近设计的MPA的比较研究。 这种比较之所以有用，是因为每个语言环境中的指定MPA的过程非常相似，但是“第一个”和“第三世界”和不同的尺度之间存在差异，这些量表将提供令人信服的分析。 MPA的普及以及基于州的GIS决策和管理的日益增长的目前的结合使这项研究及时，廉价地确定。这一奖项通过NSF Advance Advance计划得到了支持。预先计划的总体使命是通过增加妇女在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和进步来增加妇女在科学和工程劳动力中的参与。
