  abstract = {{S}ocial acceptance is a key component of successfully establishing a marine protected area ({MPA}). {T}herefore, when the natural marine reserve ({NMR}) in {R}eunion {I}sland was created in 2007, managers asked social scientists to assist them in monitoring and assessing social acceptance. {T}his article presents the socioeconomic baselines and synthetic measures of recreational fishers' social acceptance. {R}ecreational boat fishers' perceptions toward the {NMR}, current strategies, and territorial stakes were identified through fifty interviews. {T}his led to five synthetic measures of social acceptance and the differentiation of five different groups of recreational fishers in terms of their uses opinions. {T}he five groups of recreational fishers differed considerably in regards to three key aspects of social acceptance. {H}owever, local geography played little role in social acceptance, with views being relatively uniform across the three main ports.},
