Benefits (social, economic, ecological)
- Addressing/reducing CCA/DRR risks
- Harmonizing access to marine space by established economic sectors
- Assessing costs and benefits to clearly understand socio-economic and ecological trade-offs
- Extending governance principles to be more inclusive to weaker disadvantaged sector, addressing issues of tenure and use-based access rights
| | | | Measures toad dress challenges 1) establish long-term ecosystem monitoring networks; 2) integrated land and sea use planning in partnership with other administrative areas; 3) introduction of environment-friendly aquaculture practices through technological support and policy support; 4) awareness raising among tourists and fisherfolks. |
