Marine Protected Areas - Areas of Interest

The purpose of establishing areas of interest is to facilitate the evolution of the national process for establishing MPAs, to protect certain areas that need early protection and management, and to evaluate and demonstrate the effects of MPAs in marine conservation and protection.
