*Integrating social network development into MPA management capacity
building and institutionalization in the Philippines and Indonesia by Anne
Nelson and Gabrielle Johnson of NOAA. *Every MPA site, region, and capacity
building program is unique in structure and content, yet all programs need
to build trust and community to create a locally-relevant format and
framework. To contribute to the ongoing growth of the global social network
of marine protected area (MPA) practitioners, the presenters will share
observations from the social MPA network building that was part of recent
NOAA MPA Center International Capacity Building in the Philippines and
Indonesia. These programs deliver technical capacity for effective MPA
management and a participatory learning framework for participants to
enhance their MPA social network to support long term implementation of
gained knowledge and skills. Webinar co-sponsored by the NOAA National MPA
Center, MPA News, and the EBM Tools Network (co-coordinated by OCTO and
NatureServe). *Register for the webinar at *
