Lesser Sunda - Banda Sub Seascape Boundary

The Lesser Sunda-Banda Seascape encompasses three functional sub-Seascapes: Lesser Sunda Seascape, Inner Banda Arc Seascape, and South and East Sulawesi Seascape. Fuctional seascape is defined as "areas within a wider ecoregion within which there is some geographical or ecological distinctiveness, but over a smaller area that maybe more suitable for the application of management measures such as MPA networks" (Green & Mous, 2008). These functional sub-seascapes provide a practical unit for marine conservation, including the design and implementation of networks of MPAs.

小巽他-班达海景观（Lesser Sunda-Banda Seascape）涵盖三个功能性亚海景观：小巽他海景观、班达弧内海景观以及南苏拉威西与东苏拉威西海景观。功能性海景观被定义为"更广生态区域内具备一定地理或生态独特性的较小范围区域，更适于实施海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area, MPA）网络等管理举措"（Green & Mous，2008）。此类功能性亚海景观可为海洋保护工作提供切实可行的管理单元，包括海洋保护区网络的设计与实施。
