MPA Community
We are a community of practice that promotes the exchange of information. We rely on network members to tell their stories, share their experiences, challenges and resources in an open and participatory manner. WIOMPAN advocates for accountability in the management of the vital coastal and marine resources whose care we are entrusted with.
Competency
WIOMPAN actions are first and foremost about promoting competence in the management of protected areas. We seek to develop the capacity, knowledge and skills of network members, provide direct support, and other measures to improve park management.
Know your MPA
WIOMPAN uses interactive Geo-spatial Technologies to help users understand the location of regional MPA’s, get the latest information on coverage, basic data on MPAs and OECMs and provides a basic inventory of benthic habitats and their conditions.
