Final Report : Protection and rehabilitation of coastal ecosystems for improved adaptation to Climate Change as a contribution to the Coral Triangle Initiative (ACCCoast)

The overarching project goal was to improve governance of MPAs contributing to improved climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation.

The project has had significant impacts on the political and social domains related to MPA governance. Best practices of communities were identified and further developed. For enhanced outreach, results and lessons learned were shared among coastal communities at the national level, disseminated up to the regional policy-making level (CTI, ACB) and even reached a global level (Blue Solutions, CBD). Findings were elevated to aid national policymaking for: (1) coastal zone management, specifically the ICM Bill and Greenbelt Bill, (2) biodiversity conservation (political and institutional dimension of MPA connectivity, new MPA model based on a sub-population of the Irrawaddy Dolphins), and (3) climate change adaptation (fiscal implications of climate-proofed land use plans, coral reef and reef fish recovery, reversion of undeveloped and underutilized (AUU) fishponds into mangrove habitat). Concerned actors can now build on new strategies and revisit policies to realize long-term goals of biodiversity conservation encompassed within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Aichi, and CTI.
