Funafuti Marine Conservation Area Project : Tuvalu : Project Preparation Document (PPD)

This report is the Project Preparation Document (PPD) for the proposed Funafuti Marine Conservation Area. The primary objective of the PPD is to lay out the design for a project that conserves a representative sample of the marine and terrestrial biodiversity typical of Funafuti atoll, and of Tuvalu as a whole. A long term objective is to develop regimes for the sustainable management of the inshore fisheries resource, a resource currently threatened by over-utilisation.
