The Pacific BioScapes Programme is providing support to produce the Samoa National Marine Sanctuary Management Plan (SNMSMP) which will provide guidance for government and the public to implement existing regulations which established the sanctuary to protect whales, dolphins, sharks, rays and turtles.
This work will complement the existing marine spatial plan which identifies special marine areas for protection. The SNMSMP provides protection for marine species within the whole Exclusive Economic zone (EEZ) with the added objective to include seabirds, a current gap in the regulation. This plan will fulfil the requirement for an Integrated Management Plan for marine species under the Samoa Ocean Strategy 2020-2030.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.
