co-management agreements

Co-management agreements are formal arrangements where two or more organizations or authorities share responsibility for managing a resource, area, or project. They combine their expertise, resources, and decision-making authority to oversee and coordinate activities effectively. Such agreements often occur in natural resource management, like parks or fisheries, allowing for collaborative governance that balances different interests and promotes sustainable use. This shared approach fosters better decision-making and accountability, ensuring that the managed area or resource benefits from diverse perspectives and expertise.
