Strategic Plan
On the basis of the experience of its professional staff, scientists and collaborators, and aware that the fate of the oceans and their ecosystems is a responsibility of all of society, MarViva has designed an integral, serious, transparent and innovative strategy of a regional nature for the protection and conservation of marine and coastal resources:
Strategic Plan 2008-2010 (PDF)
• Integral, because it envisages the management of marine
resources as a task involving various players for the public
and private sectors in protection and production initiatives
aiming to achieve sustainable development in our oceans.
This task demands intense dedication of both a political
nature - to reinforce and establish new legal frameworks-
and in terms of communications to raise public awareness of
the situation.
• Serious, because the professional teams in charge of putting the programmes and activities
into practice base their actions on solid scientific and technical knowledge on coastal-marine
ecosystems, the nature of Marine Protected Areas and the social and economic processes
affecting them.
• Transparent, because MarViva applies transparent and equitable management practices with all
collaborators, partners, civil society, businesses and governments.
• Innovative, because it promotes the sustainable use of resources and services offered by
Marine Protected Areas, supporting the development of economic alternatives that benefit
communities.
• Regional, because the seas of the Tropical Eastern Pacific are linked by currents and migratory
routes that render their ecosystems highly interdependent.
