Locally-managed marine area network: learning framework database user guide

Abstract

The Locally-Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Network is a cooperative program of sites and practitioners in countries of the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. The LMMA Network is collectively trying to determine the conditions under which a LMMA is successful and why. Each site team uses a LMMA strategy in an attempt to reach their goal; this will often be a learning process, requiring an adaptive approach. The site collects data on their measures of success (target or response variables) and on factors that may affect success. The data are maintained and analyzed, then summarized in reports on lessons learned to the Country and Network levels.
