\u00a9 KWS<\/p><\/div>\n

Previous evaluations of Western Indian Ocean (WIO) marine protected areas (MPAs and LMMAs)\u00a0found significant gaps in compliance and enforcement management, which negatively affects conservation outcomes12 . Insights with most MPA managers in the WIO reveal that compliance and\u00a0enforcement of MPA regulations remain a significant challenge. The WIO region has over 140 MPAs\u00a0and over 300 LMMAs, with the majority of them having weak enforcement and compliance due to\u00a0insufficient capacity and capability .<\/p>\n

A regional compliance and enforcement training will be held in April 2024 to provide marine\u00a0conservation practitioners in charge of compliance and enforcement activities in MPAs and LMMA with\u00a0an understanding of a wide range of strategies and opportunities to improve the value and effectiveness\u00a0of their organizations’ marine conservation operations.<\/p>\n

This training will include experience sharing, giving participants the opportunity to be a part of an\u00a0engaging learning environment. The discussions and exercises will cover a variety of MPA\/LMMA\/OECM regulatory and environmental issues. Participants will explore how compliance and\u00a0enforcement tasks can be carried out most effectively and efficiently in order to achieve positive\u00a0management outcomes while maintaining community and stakeholder trust. A critical component is\u00a0developing professional competence and sharing experiences in group sessions. You will leave the\u00a0training with a better understanding of the current pressures on marine resource managers, as well as\u00a0a broader appreciation for potential adaptations you could make in response.<\/p>\n
