Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Monitoring of Marine Protected Areas and Exclusive Economic Zones
Monitoring Biodiversity, Socioeconomic and Management Effectiveness
The objective of monitoring and evaluation is to determine if the management plan and annual work plans effectively contribute to achieving the plan’s objectives and desired conditions for the protected area. Monitoring and evaluation tasks should focus on rare resources, on activities authorized by the protected area administration, or on basic information needs for the protected area administration. With plan implementation under way, monitoring will provide the feedback loop for evaluating the plan.

The Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) methodology provides protected area agencies with a country-wide overview of the effectiveness of protected area management, threats, vulnerabilities and degradation. It provides follow-up recommendations and is an important first step in assessing and improving protected area management. It is described online on the WWF website.
