Area of Cooperation
The Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape Project aims to support the countries of the Sulu-Sulawesi-Seascape, a priority seascape under the CTI, to implement their actions within the framework of the Regional Plan of Action (RPOA) in a coordinated manner, with a special focus on Marine Protected Areas (MPA), Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) and Climate Change Adaptation Planning. The project engages in capacity development and institutional strengthening with partner organisations for effective implementation of the RPOA though knowledge and skill building and implementation of technical support. The partner countries and the project jointly implement activities to improve MPA Networks and EAFM. The project partner agencies among others prioritize and conduct research. The research results feed into policy recommendations, decision making and implementation. As an example, the project conducts Green sea turtle (Chelonina mydas) and Whale shark (Rhinchodon typus) tagging to determine regional connectivity of MPAs.
