dc.description.abstract	An MPA is a socially constructed set of rules that govern human interactions within a specified area – who, may do what, where and when. MPA objectives ultimately stem from human needs and desires, whether to increase the number of fish, support traditional livelihoods or protect sensitive habitats. It is therefore important to systematically monitor social impacts of MPAs and evaluate the outcomes of management actions. ‘Management effectiveness’ and societal ‘satisfaction’ of MPA performance are primary indicators useful for reporting (i.e. accountability). In addition, the data collection process (surveys, interviews, meetings) has the potential to build relationships between administrators and users, generating social capital, which helps anticipate potential problems and reduce conflict. In this set of guidelines, we outline how to monitor this topic and provide reference to additional sources of information that would be beneficial to anyone wanting to conduct social research. MMMPA conducted a socio-economic assessment in Cabo de Palos, Spain. We use this case as an example to illustrate what can be achieved using social research methodologies, giving consideration to costs/expenses. Using participatory techniques to monitor changes in satisfaction with MPA management provides useful evaluation data and at the same time opportunities for administrators and stakeholders to interact and build trust in the management process.	es
