  abstract = {{M}arine protected areas ({MPA}s) have the potential to enhance the long-term sustainability of coastal resources, and the artisanal fisheries which depend on them. {H}owever, recreational fisheries, which are increasing their impacts on coastal resources worldwide, may reduce the benefits that {MPA}s provide to declining artisanal fisheries. {H}ere we used the {B}onifacio {S}traits {N}atural {R}eserve ({BSNR}) {C}orsica as a study case to simulate the combined effects on coastal resources of artisanal and recreational fishing efforts. {T}he {BSNR} ecosystem was modelled using mass-balance modelling of trophic interactions. {T}his model was compared to another built on a non-protected area from the same region. {W}e aggregated fishing fleets into artisanal and recreational categories, and we simulated various combinations of fishing effort over a 20 yr dynamic simulation using {E}cosim. {W}e showed that fishing activities have an additional top-down effect on the food web and that they decrease the targeted group's biomass, such as piscivorous species. {W}e found, for some trophic groups, non-trivial patterns of biomass variation through trophic cascades. {O}ur trophic approach revealed that some groups may suffer a biomass decrease when {MPA}s are set or enforced, due to the combined effect of artisanal and recreational fisheries. {O}verall, our results illustrate the value of modelling to manage {MPA}s, as a complementary tool to surveys. {M}odels provide the opportunity to anticipate the potential consequences, at the ecosystem level, of socio-political decisions that aim to sustain coastal resources while managing artisanal and recreational fisheries.},
