Description
This report outlines a standardised Socio-Ecological Vulnerability Assessment which was implemented in Cap de Creus Marine Protected Area (MPA). The assessment utilised indicators to create the Social-ecological Vulnerability Index, comprising exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity dimensions. The assessment revealed high vulnerability in the MPA, emphasising the need for habitat and species protection, restoration plans, and better management of tourism, fishing, and recreational activities.
