These practitioners are faced with a multitude of different situations, issues and problems on a daily basis, often in remote locations, without easy reference to sources of information or help. There are a number of tools to help MPA practitioners share solutions and lessons that have already been developed in the WIO, including many publications and MPA toolkits. But the most valuable way to share knowledge is through peer-to-peer networking, and MPA practitioners\u2019&nbsp;networks are recognised as a cornerstone of MPA performance.<em style=\"font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;PT Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0px;\"><br><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;PT Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0px;\">The Western Indian Ocean Marine Protected Areas Management Network (WIOMPAN) is a network of MPA practitioners in the WIO.
