  abstract = {{C}oastal populations and tourism are growing worldwide. {C}onsequently outdoor recreational activity is increasing and diversifying. {W}hile {M}arine {P}rotected {A}reas ({MPA}s) are valuable for mitigating anthropogenic impacts, recreational uses are rarely monitored and studied, resulting in a lack of knowledge on users' practices, motivation and impacts. {B}ased on boat counts and interview data collected in {N}ew {C}aledonia, we i) explored factors affecting user practices and motivations, ii) constructed fine-scale pressure indices covering activities and associated behaviors, and iii) assessed the relationships between user practices and site selection. {U}ser practices were found to depend on protection status, boat type and user characteristics. {P}ressure indices were higher within no-take {MPA}s, except for fishing. {W}e found significant relationships between user practices and settings characteristics. {I}n the context of increasing recreational uses, these results highlight options for managing such uses through settings management without jeopardizing the social acceptance of {MPA}s or the attainment of conservation goals.},
