The document summarizes the development and objectives of the Os Miñarzos marine reserve in Galicia, Spain. It was proposed by the fishers' organization in Lira-Carnota to restore overexploited stocks and limit access through territorial users' rights. The reserve uses no-take zones, a marine protected area, and open-access areas in an experimental, adaptive approach to evaluate alternative management models. Ongoing monitoring evaluates the effects on biodiversity, fishing activity, and potential spillover between zones.
