PROP: Analysis and Development of a replicable community managed marine area finance mechanism

This study identifies five community archetypes and seeks impactful and cost-effective mechanisms for financing their CMMAs. Literature review is the basis for conceptualising financing mechanism options; however, the key piece of mechanism development has been carried out through a series of stakeholder consultations with a wide range of CMMA communities, national and regional stakeholders.

This study identifies three mechanisms that are existent in certain forms and successful in selected cases in the region. It attempts to innovate them by amending key features in order to leverage strengths and manage weaknesses. Each of the three mechanisms operate at a different scale from a single village to several communities to an entire island or province. Therefore, overlaps between mechanisms are possible and potentially synergetic.

Potential implementation sites for each of the mechanisms have been identified and systematised piloting and scaling has been proposed to serve as a steppingstone for rolling out the mechanisms to the wider region.
