materials, organizational structure of participating agencies and organizations. Long-term Recommendations: • Secure greater representation for Monachus recovery efforts in IUCN and its networks. • Build capacity and expertise through exchange programs designed to train managers and scientists (e.g., in the care and husbandry of abandoned neonatal monk seals). • Design strategic plans to build stakeholder support and enhance funding for support of MMPAs and Monachus recovery (e.g., fisheries, tourism); • Develop a classification system for types and levels of protection provided by MMPAs.

Workshop 6: Creating Regulations that Actually Work: Enforcement vs. Education Conveners: Lisa Van Atta and Anne Walton Participants: Harun Guclusoy, Spyros Kotomatas, Jayne LeFors, Ed Lindelof, Jason Philibotte, Jeff Pollack, Eric Roberts, Jeff Walters, others. Overall Workshop Approach and Content: <strong>The</strong> first part of the workshop consisted of a structured discussion of marine mammal protection rules and regulations in MMPAs, with examples from different countries. <strong>The</strong> goal was to identify measures that are working and are not working, and to find ways of improving those measures that could work but are not working at present. <strong>The</strong> emphasis of this part of the workshop was on rules, regulations, and enforcement. <strong>The</strong> second part of the workshop approached the issue of effectiveness from a different angle: “interpretive enforcement.” <strong>The</strong> emphasis here was on building awareness and understanding in order to change human behavior in MPAs. This was seen as complementary to the more legalistic or enforcement approach. Rather than producing a series of formal presentations, with summaries, conclusions, and recommendations, this workshop simply provided an opportunity for practitioners to examine and consider case studies, including successful long-term models where human behavior in MPAs had been changed through on-the-water outreach efforts. Titles of Presentations: • Guarding a Greek MPA: Experience from an 11-year “Pilot” System. Spyros Kotomatas, MOm, the Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk Seal, Greece. • Optimizing Enforcement Across Multiple Jurisdictions. Jeff Walters, Co- Manager Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources. • Enforcement Experiences in a U.S. Marine Mammal Protected Area. Jeff Pollack, Special Agent and Liaison to the Humpback Whale Sanctuary and NWHI Monument, NOAA Office of Law Enforcement; and Eric Roberts, Marine Protected Species Program Manager, and Marine Mammal Response Coordinator U.S. Coast Guard, D14, Enforcement Branch. • Interpretive Enforcement as an Approach to Voluntary Compliance. Anne Walton, NOAA/National Marine Sanctuary Program, <strong>International</strong> MPA Capacity Building Coordinator; and Jason Philobotte, Coral Reef Resource Management Specialist. Interactive Exercises (led by Anne Walton and Jason Philobotte): Identification of Target Resources; Inventory of User Groups, Threats Analysis; and Identifying Approaches to Interpretive Enforcement.
