  abstract = {{F}or decades, fishermen in most parts of the world have been experiencing a reduction in fish abundances. {O}verexploitation and increasing demands are the glaring visible causes, but weakness or absence of fishery management is the core problem. {F}aced with repeated failure of fishery management and the resulting overexploitation in fish stocks, new management plans are needed in order to preserve both fishermen's jobs and food security. {A} growing number of published sources have proposed marine protected areas ({MPA}) as a fishery management tool. {T}he decision of {MPA} design requires close collaboration with local fishermen communities for it to be accepted and respected. {T}his paper focus on the case of a {U}ruguayan lagoon, the {R}ocha lagoon, which is exploited by two fishermen communities. {T}he lagoon is located inside a national park. {P}ark authorities are in the process of designing a management plan that defines a {MPA} inside the lagoon. {T}he plan also sets out the rules to be upheld for the artificial opening of the sandbar that separates the lagoon from the ocean. {I}t is shown that it is relevant to study the local ecological knowledge ({LEK}) in order (1) to understand the fishery related ecological issues within the lagoon and (2) to highlight an existing conflict between two fishermen communities. {S}tudying the {LEK} allowed a clear representation of the factors that must be taken into account when defining the management plan. {F}urthermore, the {LEK} study in itself creates an appropriate place for inter-community debate and it enhances the acceptance of the future management plan.},
