Overview
Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, as the common vision for global biodiversity conservation, is a major and important achievement for international cooperation on the biodiversity conservation. The TARGET 3 of the Framework indicates that at least 30 percent of marine and coastal areas are effectively conserved and managed through protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures by 2030.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a crucial and effective measure to protect marine ecosystem, provide ecosystem services and goods, mitigate climate change, conserve marine biodiversity, and support blue economy in coast and ocean. While Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) are one of the important area-based management tools for marine on-site conservation. In recent years, OECMs have gradually gained international attention and are considered as new powerful tools that can significantly increase the protected areas both in land and oceans.
Such efforts align closely with the goals outlined in the regional framework of the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA) 2023-2027, aiming to enhance the biodiversity conservation and management by developing National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plans (NBSAPs) that incorporate post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework targets for ocean, coastal, and marine management.
This Experience and Practice Sharing Workshop for Sustainable Management of MPAs aims to promote MPA’s management effectiveness, understand international commitments for marine biodiversity conservation, and exchange the excellent management practice of MPAs and OECMs. The workshop will discuss the international best practice and tools for MPA management, share experiences among regional MPAs, identify marine conservation gaps and hotspots, foster networking of MPAs in the EAS region, and explore potential pathway to realize the 3030 Target in the EAS region.
Expected Output/s:
-
- By promoting the exchange of MPA management information, expertise, and experiences, this workshop is expected to facilitate the understanding of MPA management despite differences in types and sizes; identify potential cooperative actions for regional cooperation among MPAs and OECMs; and enhance the managing capacity and effectiveness of MPA and OECM through the release of four important outputs.
