A comparative study of Marine Protected Areas for Fisheries (MPAF) placed in the south of Spain that have already been declared (Guadalquivir basin and Huelva coast line) and that are in process of declaration (Roche cape and Calahonda-Castell de Ferro) has been the target of this work. This work reviews the administrative documentation available through the comparative contrast of 6 criteria and 18 parameters to achieve a characteristic profile of each MPAF and a characterization of how a MPAF without conflicts have to be managed. Of all the obtained results we point out different management models applied in the MPAF, lacks in the planning of specific and quantifiable objectives, the various options of commercial fishing and the gradient of complexity and biological diversity that is detected in the different natural resources that have motivated the statement or the proposal statement of each of the MPAF. Finally after the discussion of the results, it is concluded that the fisheries administration should promote protection initiatives, which keep in mind the shared management or co-management and integrated coastal zone management plan.
