Building successful and effective management in Fiji's Kubulau MPA final report submitted to NOAA Coral Reef Conservation grant #NA07NOS46630035

"The scope of the NOAA grant award #NA07NOS46630035 changed considerably since its inception in November 2007. The initial proposed project 'Building Successful and Effective Management in Fiji's Macuata and Kubulau MPA Networks' was to investigate drivers of MPA effectiveness at two community-based management sites in Vanua Levu, Fiji. The first six monthly report in April 2008 detailed outcomes of a desktop study to identify appropriate biophysical, socioeconomic and governance indicators of MPA effectiveness across three 6 MPAs being monitored within the Kubulau and Macuata MPA networks. Management programs at the two project sites were assessed against the indicators to provide guidance on implementing effective management"--P. 4. 2010 CoRIS (Coral Reef Information System) MPA (Marine Protected Areas) Library Public Domain 1858
