Marine Conservation Planning
� Representation of habitat and species range: how much should
be protected to ensure viability?
� Persistence of biodiversity: select ecological processes and
functionality, select sites for resilience to climate change.
� Combining modelling tools and expert knowledge.� Combining modelling tools and expert knowledge.
� Modelling tools which provide quantitative and objective
information.
� Allows better involvement of stakeholders and better quality of
the data input.
� Outcomes: identify a network of seascapes and sites of
significant importance for biodiversity and fisheries
conservation.2

Process Adopted� Georeferenced data collection of environmental, biological and
ecological features at regional scale.
� Two expert and stakeholder workshops were organized to
identify the regional focal species and identify priority areas
based on criteria used by the Convention for Biological
Diversity.Diversity.
� Identification, quantification and mapping of marine
ecosystems Drivers of Change based on anthropogenic threats.
� Identification of 05 subunits based on biophysical data through
clustering analysis process (GDM).
� Marxan analysis which helped the experts in identifying
priority seascape areas and sites of special significance using
targets of 30% for marine habitats. 3
