Regional Voice, Global Connections

WIOMPAN brings the experience and priorities of Western Indian Ocean marine conservation practitioners into regional and international discussions—connecting management realities with decisions on policy, investment and capacity development.

Through engagement with regional bodies, including the Nairobi Convention, and connections with the Global Network of MPA Manager Networks and the MPA Capacity Community of Practice, we share regional lessons, learn from other networks and strengthen collective action for effective and equitable marine conservation.
