| Summary: | In Spain there are a range of environmental protection entities, focused on different purposes on different ecological contexts. The examples of the Restinga and the Medas Islands- L’Estartit show how marine conservation strategies can be oriented toward different goals, more or less related to commercial fishing and tourism activities. Marine Protected Areas may vary the framework of norms and rules which affects the access of the coastal marine resources for different users or stakeholders. Marine conservationist strategies may introduce changes in the way in which marine resources are affected, but also may institute new structures to generate the rules itself, varying the power that each group has.
