Title:
Legal Gap Analysis Report on the Existing Legal Framework with the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority on the Conservation and Protection of Coral Reefs and Coastal Marine Resources and Species
Publication Date:

Institution:
NOAA
Abstract:
"The objective of the Project is to assist the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority (MIMRA) in carrying out a gap analysis on the current legal framework on protecting and conserving coral reefs, coral ecosystems and species. The outcome of the project will be recommendations to strengthen the legal framework through the modification of existing regulations and, or the establishment of additional regulations. Given the complex nature of coral reef ecosystems, which often have and rapidly changing populations and conditions, and the long administrative process required to pass new laws or regulations, adaptive management may be a tool MIMRA should explore."
