Summary
This project has been co-designed with communities managing Timor-Leste’s locally managed marine areas (LMMAs) to mitigate disruption and threats to conservation and food security from the Covid-19 pandemic. Through technical assistance, community outreach and peer learning exchanges between LMMAs the project will provide support and training to community members and Timorese conservationists. By strengthening local marine monitoring and management capabilities, the project will bolster Timor-Leste’s LMMA network at a time of heightened threat to conservation and disruption to coastal livelihoods.
