WIOMSA in partnership with Marine Protected Areas Agencies in the Western Indian Ocean region and SwAM (Swedish Agency for Marie and Water Management), offers intensive training in Adaptive Management that aims to equip marine conservation professionals with the knowledge, tools and skills required to adaptively manage marine protected areas (MPAs) and other area-based conservation.
The course is based on the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (Conservation Standards). The Conservation Standards help teams be systematic about planning, implementing, and monitoring their conservation initiatives and ultimately adapt and improve their efforts.
This work is part of SwAM Ocean – reducing poverty through sustainable use of the sea.
