Need for information regarding practical use of carrying capacity estimations
(ecological).
I am currently writing a master thesis with the preliminary title "Management
tools to reduce direct environmental impact resulting from marine tourism. Case
study: Con Dao, Vietnam". Within this topic I'm looking closer at the use of
carrying capacity and also education (as an effecient way to increase the
carrying capacity) as possible tools.
It seems that carrying capacity estimations are seldom used in practical
management plans (when focusing on marine mammals and tourism activities e.g.
whale/seal-safari). Even after feedback from guides /managers, I have a problem
finding locations that use limit in nr as a successful management tool.
Is this the case? Or does anybody know of any marine reserve/MPA that actually
incorporates cc estimations in their management plans, when conducting tourism
activities focusing on marine mammals?
If you have any kind of information/comments etc. – all inputs are very much
appreciated at this point.
Sincerely /Lena Pettersson
