Overview
Marine conservation agreements include any formal or informal understanding between two or more parties in which the parties obligate themselves, for an exchange of benefits, to take certain actions, refrain from certain actions, or transfer certain rights and responsibilities to achieve agreed-upon ocean or coastal conservation goals.
The Practitioner's Toolkit for Marine Conservation Agreements helps organizations determine
- What marine conservation agreements are;
- When these agreements can be used to abate threats to oceans and coasts; and
- How to develop and implement a marine conservation agreement project.
