  abstract = {{T}he present paper aims at identifying and assessing indicators of the effects of {M}arine {P}rotected {A}reas ({MPA}s) in coral reef regions, based on a bibliography review in ecology, economics and social sciences. {F}irst the various effects {S}tudied within each of these domains and the variables used to measure them were censused. {P}otential ecological indicators were assessed through their link with the question used (here termed "relevance") and their "effectiveness" which encompasses the issues of precision, accuracy and statistical power. {R}elevance and effectiveness were respectively measured by the frequency of use of each indicator and the proportion of significant results in the reviewed articles. {F}or social and economic effects, the approach was not possible due to the low number of references: we thus discussed the issue of finding appropriate indicators for those fields. {R}esults indicate: 1- the unbalance in literature between disciplines: 2- the need for protocols and methodologies which include controls in order to assess {MPA} effects: 3- an important proportion of ecological indicators with low effectiveness: 4- the large number of ecological effects still not studied or not demonstrated at present.},
