| Tiivistelmä: | Recreational scuba diving is a growing and important component of the international tourism market. Increasing use of marine protected areas for such pursuits may lead to biological damage and reduced amenity values in popular locations. The carrying capacity concept and the critical thresholds approach are constrained by a number of limitations on their effectiveness as resource management tools. The optimal allocation of users between recreational diving sites is examined and the potential application of economic instruments is assessed. A judicious blend of regulation and the use of economic instruments will be required to overcome open access and boundary problems. Education will also have an important role to play by increasing environmental awareness. |
