The Locally-Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Network is a group of practitioners involved in various marine conservation projects around the globe who have joined together to increase the success of our efforts. The LMMA Network is learning network, meaning that participating projects use a common strategy and work together to achieve goals. The Network is interested in learning under what conditions using an LMMA strategy works, doesn’t work, and why. Network members share knowledge, skills, resources and information in order to collectively learn how to improve marine management activities and increase conservation impact.
The Network's membership consists largely of conservation projects that are using (or planning on using) an LMMA approach, and includes:
- Community members
- Traditional leaders
- Conservation staff
- Academics and researchers
- Donors
- Decision-makers
These members span the people and cultures of Southeast Asia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia and the Americas. Some nations have their own country-wide network, which operates independently from, but within the framework of the overall Network. See Members for more information on membership.
See History for information on the forming of the LMMA Network.
The LMMA Network is a Foundations of Success (FOS) Learning Portfolio. The work of the LMMA Network is made possible through generous support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The opinions expressed herein are those of the LMMA Network and do not necessarily reflect the views of Foundations of Success or the Packard and MacArthur Foundations.
