The locally-managed marine area (LMMA) network: improving the practice of marine conservation : Annual report 2004

Abstract

The Locally-Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Network is a group of practitioners involved in various community-based marine conservation projects around the globe who have joined together to learn how to improve their results. The LMMA Network is a "learning network,' meaning that participating project teams use a common strategy and evaluation process to learn about the conditions under which using an LMMA approach works, doesn't work, and why. We believe that working together will allow us to learn collectively, improve our marine management activities, and increase the impact of our conservation efforts.
