  abstract = {{I}n coastal areas, demographic increase is likely to result in greater numbers of recreational users, with potential consequences on marine biodiversity. {T}hese effects may also occur within {M}arine {P}rotected {A}reas ({MPA}s), which are popular with recreational users. {O}ur analysis builds on data collected over a ten-year period during three year-round surveys to appraise changes in recreational boating activities in coral ecosystems. {R}esults show that the number of boaters has greatly increased, particularly so within {MPA}s during weekends and the warm season, when peaks in boat numbers have become more frequent. {W}e also observed that the number of anchored boats has increased over the period. {T}hese changes may be resulting in biophysical impacts that could be detrimental to conservation objectives in {MPA}s. {T}his steady increase over time may cause changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of users and in their practices, thus highlighting the importance of monitoring recreational activities.},
