Towards a Blueprint for Locally-Managed Marine Conservation in the Comoros: Building the Knowledge Base and Capacity for Monitoring and Management

Improve the knowledge base in biology and socio-economics for the Bimbini Key Biodiversity Area of Anjouan Island in the Comoros, an area threatened by fishing. Identify better management practices for the fishing communities, based on what has been tried and tested by Blue Ventures with coastal communities in Madagascar, and work towards establishing the first Locally Managed Marine Protected Area in the Comoros.
