It is a dark and rainy night in the coastal waters of the Philippines. Sea wardens community fishers trained by the local government to monitor the marine protected areas flag a commercial fishing vessel found within municipal waters where they are prohibited.
The wardens inform the wayward boat over radio of their violation of entering municipal waters where only small-scale fishermen are permitted. The violators ask for proof of their transgression such as a photo or a record of coordinates, but when the wardens cannot produce any, there is no choice but to let the offenders go.
Indonesian sea wardens face a similar scenario, this time with a commercial boat operating within a marine protected area (MPA), where human activity is restricted to conserve the fragile habitat beneath it.
