MPA Guidelines

MPA Guidelines refer to standardized procedures and best practices established by the Marine Protected Areas network to conserve marine environments. They provide a framework for designating, managing, and monitoring protected areas to ensure biodiversity, habitats, and resources are preserved for future generations. These guidelines help local authorities and stakeholders implement effective conservation strategies while balancing ecological health with sustainable use. Essentially, they serve as a blueprint to protect marine ecosystems from harm, support research, and promote responsible activities like fishing and tourism within protected zones.
