"This guide presents a framework (Part A) and step-by-step guide (Part B) for developing a reef stewardship program that suits the needs of your local community and marine environment. References and additional resources are provided in Part C. While communities and reef managers are increasingly recognising the benefits of stewardship for reef conservation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to designing stewardship programs. There are, however, guiding principles and approaches that can help reef managers everywhere to work with communities to design and implement a successful program. Part A outlines the key principles and considerations for stewardship programs, giving you the theory and background knowledge to tailor a framework to your particular situation. Part B guides you through a series of steps that will help you along the path to your own stewardship program, a healthier reef and more involved communities. With the help of this guide, you can build a program to foster community stewardship activities that contribute to the health of coral reefs and the resilience of coastal communities. The structured approach presented in this guide will help you increase alignment between community actions and management priorities, and develop a culture of reef stewardship that can spread throughout local communities"--Page 7.
