How is Your MPA Managed?
A Training in MPA Management Planning
An Interactive Training Workshop
March 16-20, 2015 Santa
Margherita Ligure, Genoa,
Italy
Scope of the training event
Training workshop is designed to bring together MPA practitioners working within a similar bioregion to share their experience of developing management frameworks for their sites. The purpose of the training workshop is to share lessons learned between MPAs on what's working on what is not, both in terms of the process for developing MPA management plans, and successful implementation. The training also provides an opportunity to learn from an internationally recognized standard for the management plan development process. By understanding and exercising each process step, each training participant will have an opportunity to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their plans. Through interactive engagement between MPA sites, the training is structured to allow ample time for peer review and input at key stages of the management plan development process. With knowledge of this process and the valuable input from
colleagues, managers would return home with a work plan (implementation plan) to develop or complete a management plan for each of their sites.

.jpg) Anne Walton
Anne Walton has been with NOAA/Office of National Marine Sanctuaries since 1997 and working on marine protected areas (MPAs), both domestically and globally, for more than twenty years.
Since it's inception in 2004, Anne has been Program Manager for the NOAA/ Office of National Marine Sanctuaries' (ONMS) International MPA Management Capacity Building Program. In partnership with international NGOs and governments, the capacity building program focuses on building the management capacity of regional networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) through peer-to-peer learning experiences to support sites in moving towards more effective marine resource management. To date, the program has worked with MPAs in 36 countries. The current portfolio includes: Western Indian Ocean (9 countries and island nations), SeaMED (5 non-EU countries of the Mediterranean), Coral Triangle (3 programs across 6 countries); Latin America (4 countries); Kiribati (SW Pacific); Vietnam; Mexico; and the APEC Training Center in Xiamen, China. Each of these multi-year programs (minimum commitment from NOAA of 3 years) offers a range of capacity building activities including training, site exchanges, site support in management planning, and mentor development program (ToT and leadership).
Prior to running the international capacity building program, Anne oversaw multi-stakeholder management planning processes for 4 of NOAA's national marine sanctuaries on the west coast of the United States.
Anne has graduate degrees in both marine resource management, and education.
