Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following potential conflicts: The authors are either advisors to (Oliver, Oleson) or employees of Blue Ventures Conservation, the NGO that co-manages the Velondriake Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA). The presented work analyzes fishery management techniques performed in the Velondriake LMMA, by the co-managing partners: (1) the Velondriake Committee, a management body representing the 25 villages of the LMMA and (2) Blue Ventures Conservation staff. These facts do not alter the authors' adherence to PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
