	abstract = {<p>Measures taken for the management of the natural patrimony of the  Mediterranean MPA are nowadays designed in such a way as to take account  both the aims of protection and the maintenance of small traditionnal  fisheries. the managers thus need (i) details knowledge of fishing  practices, (ii) monitoring over time of indicators relevant to the local  fishery (resource and fishing effort) and (iii) collaboration with  fishermen. A panel of methods (fishing log book, day-to-day charts of  distribution of fishing gear, embarkation of scientists, landing port  enquiries) have been implemented in the national park of Port-Cros  (French Riviera) and in the natural reserve of Scandola (Corsica) and  might be adapted for other sites according to the degree of cooperation  existing between fishermen and park officers. In both cases, surveys  have provided a basis for characterizing the activities of the artisanal  fisheries : description of the fishing fleet, the equipment used, the  fishing patterns and sites, the species targeted and for calculation of  the yield per outing, per net, per piece of net, per type of mesh and  per species or category of fish. Information on the space-time patterns  of distibution of the fishing effort has been delivered in the form of  charts (GIS - Geographical Information System) for different periods of  year.</p>},
