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-班达海域景观区（Lesser Sunda-Banda Seascape）涵盖三个功能性子海域景观区：小巽他海域景观区、班达弧内海域景观区，以及苏拉威西东南部海域景观区。功能性海域景观区（functional seascape）的定义为"位于更大尺度生态区范畴内、具备独特地理或生态特征的小型区域，此类区域更适合推行海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area, MPA）网络等管理举措"（Green & Mous, 2008）。上述功能性子海域景观区可为海洋保护工作提供务实的管理单元，涵盖海洋保护区网络的规划设计与落地实施。
