Ocean Special Area Management Plan

An Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) is a strategic framework designed to manage the use and protection of ocean resources in a specific area. It involves assessing environmental, economic, and social factors to balance various activities, like fishing, tourism, and conservation. Stakeholders, such as local communities and government agencies, collaborate to create guidelines that promote sustainable practices while addressing potential conflicts among different ocean uses. The goal is to ensure the health of marine ecosystems and support the livelihoods of those who depend on them, fostering a harmonious relationship between people and the ocean.
