The Project Document has been prepared in close and direct coordination with PERSGA Member States and thus the objectives are best oriented to serve the interest of the countries. On ¬the-ground projects will be implemented at specific sites in the region, but will be designed in a way that lessons learnt from them are suitable to serve elsewhere.
Not only that but specialists from all PERSGA Member States will participate in these activities to exchange experience and enhance interregional collaboration at the level of official authorities, local communities and experts. World Class international experts are invited to participate in these activities with the target of putting the region at an internationally advanced level in managing coastal ecosystems. The principle of Marine Managed Areas will be carefully applied enabling the local communities to make the best possible benefits from the ecosystem goods and services yet preserving the ecosystem for future generations.
