The SAP tackles root causes of habitat degradation, marine pollution and unsustainability of fisheries by combining actions for structural change with capacity building and high-priority management interventions and on-the-ground investments. Substantial focus has been placed on strengthening existing regional organisations responsible for the management of shared living marine resources.
Through the CLME+ SAP, countries from the region committed to implementing a comprehensive package of coordinated “Strategies” and “Actions”. Six Strategies and four Sub-Strategies have been defined under the SAP, covering a total of 76 short-term (0-5 years) and medium-term (6-10 years) priority actions for better marine resources governance.
