Workshop on Protecting Marine Migratory Species and Achieving the 30x30 Target Through Transnational Approaches

Objectives

Workshop Goals and Objectives

The overall goal of the workshop is to support the implementation Target 3 of the new

Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework that includes traditional marine

protected areas, but also through other effective area-based conservation measures

(OECMs) as well as area-based conservation with non-traditional governance types, such as

Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs). This goal is also in line with CMS

Resolution 12.24, to promote marine protected area networks in the ASEAN Region.

The workshop objectives are to:

1. Assist CTI-CFF and the national governments and NGO partners in implementing

transnational approaches to marine migratory species protection that help achieve

regional and international conservation targets

2. Share experiences among Coral Triangle workshop participants, and participants

across the Atlantic on successes and challenges in working across international

boundaries for the protection of marine migratory species

3. Build resilient partnerships among intergovernmental organizations, national

government agencies and NGOs to establish and maintain marine mammal and

marine turtle sanctuaries as part of a seascape approach

4. Explore opportunities for funding these approaches
