Synthèse des rencontres entre scientifiques et gestionnaires d'AMP. Rapport du projet LiteauII-AMP. Perpignan, 30 novembre et 1er décembre 2004

This report synthesizes the discussions of a workshop organized during the "Liteau II-AMP" project , a collaborative project involving scientists and MPA managers that aimed at developing diagnostic and exploratory tools for the assessment of Marine Protected Areas performance. This 2004-2006 project was funded by the Liteau program (http://www.liteau.ecologie.gouv.fr) of the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development. The workshop was organized on 30th November and 1st December at the EPHE (University of Perpignan, France). It was aimed at gathering a number of scientists and managers involved in MPA in France and in overseas French territories, in order to discuss the issue of interactions between managers and scientists in the context of MPAs. After this fruitful workshop, we felt it was useful to produce a synthesis about interactions between scientists and managers for the MPA or MPA projects present at the workshop. The topics discussed include how to interact, the degree of involvement of both sides in interactions, research versus monitoring, gaps and expectations.
