The event will present the specific value that a Global Network of MPA Manager Networks may have for MPA managers in coral reef areas.
Trough the activity of Regional Networks of MPA Managers, Regional Institutions, National MPA Agencies, Conservation Trust Funds, and Networks of Conservation Trust Funds operating in coral reef regions (all linked to the Global Network) the event will presente different examples on how strategic cooperation and learning exchanges, from local to regional and global levels, contributed to reinforce the partners capacities; and how their join efforts helped to raise awareness and build capacity for effective management of MPAs and resources mobilization.
The specific experiences from coral reef MPAs presented in the event will be a great example, for MPA managers in any other ocean region, about the strategic value of having a permanent global platform for exchanges of practitioners and their networks, providing a strong capacity building framework for 30×30 and other GBF targets’ implementation.
