"This booklet was developed to help communities sustain the benefits that they receive from the marine environment. It provides important information and recommendations on some of the best ways to reduce threats and impacts to marine resources by improving the design of locally managed areas. It is based on a companion Facilitator's Guide, which provides detailed instructions on how to raise awareness and complete planning activities for effective LMA design. This booklet provides the awareness-raising illustrations and key messages from the Facilitator's Guide. It also provides a summary of zoning and rule-making recommendations based on the best available marine science"--Page 5.
