OCPP Mozambique. Empowering Community Voices in Marine Conservation – Special Session Report (13th WIOMSA Scientific Symposium) 2025

Abstract

This report provides a summary of a symposium session led by JNCC and MUVA, a community-focused conservation organisation based in Mozambique. The session presented new research conducted by MUVA in Mozambique, focusing on gender dynamics and women’s roles in MPAs. It also provided a platform for sharing experiences across WIO countries on community-led conservation, including Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs) and Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) to feed back into their management.

The work in this project focused shift from enforcement-driven conservation to community-led stewardship models in Mozambique that deliver both ecological and social outcomes.
