Project Description
This conservation plan serves as a guiding framework for organizations and individuals dedicated to the protection and sustainable management of natural resources in the Marshall Islands. It outlines strategic directions and sets overarching goals for the development and stewardship of conservation areas across the archipelago. Emphasizing localized approaches, the plan recognizes the importance of aligning conservation activities with the ecological, cultural, and socio-economic contexts of individual atolls.
Objectives, Activities and Results
The core objective of the plan is to establish and manage conservation areas primarily through community-based fisheries and resource management planning. It sets forth key strategies and actionable steps to ensure the sustainability of marine and terrestrial ecosystems while empowering communities to steward their natural resources. The plan fosters local engagement and ownership by integrating traditional knowledge with contemporary conservation practices, thereby enhancing biodiversity protection, ensuring food security, and promoting resilient livelihoods throughout the Marshall Islands.
