OCPP. Seagrass Monitoring Protocol for Madagascar's Marine Protected Areas 2025

Abstract

The Seagrass Monitoring Protocol for Madagascar’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) was developed under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP), funded through the Blue Planet Fund by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The protocol was developed in 2024, with associated training and feedback opportunities provided to MNP rangers at the Seagrass Monitoring workshop in March 2025.

The protocol aims to provide a clear, practical framework to support rangers and managers from Madagascar National Parks (MNP) in monitoring the health of seagrass ecosystems across the national MPA network. Developed in collaboration with national and international experts, the protocol responds to the urgent need to better understand, protect, and manage these ecologically critical habitats.

The protocol is available in English and French.
