APPENDIX
• All governance analysis reports should include a statement on positionality, which can be
added as an appendix. The statement should describe what role the authors of the report play
within the case study itself, or any relevant involvement/position they have in relation to it,
how this might affect governance analysis in the case study and what measures were taken to
reduce any bias related to your position (see below for details).
• Giovanni D’Anna – Contact person for the governance analysis in the Strait of Sicily, sub
case study “Sicily”. Planning and coordination of the activities for the governance analysis in
the Egadi MPA. Running of semi-structured interviews to the Egadi stakeholders and
transcription of about one third of them. Main author of the report. Involved in the Local
Fishery Management Plan (LFMP) of Trapani for scientific aspects related to the monitoring
and evaluation of the plan. The involvement in the LFMP could have positively affected the
governance analysis due to deep knowledge of the legislative and management frameworks on
which the plan is based. Neutrality and objectivity were taken as measures to reduce any bias
during the conduction of the governance analysis in the Egadi.
