Introduction to Seascapes Programme:
To support marine biodiversity through protected area networks, Defra is designing a Seascapes Programme (expected to be up to PS50m) to support the effective implementation, management and enforcement of transboundary Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECM) networks, or 'Seascapes'. Well managed Seascapes bring specific ecological benefits such as the survival of migratory species and strengthening ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. The programme aims to deliver outcomes through five pathways:
1. Biodiversity and MPA management
2. Incursion monitoring and enforcement
3. Institutional governance
4. Livelihoods and communities
5. Sustainable financing
The first Seascape will be in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, supporting CMAR. The CMAR initiative is a collaboration between Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama focused on the conservation and sustainable use of resources in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor. In 2021 the four countries agreed to expand and connect their MPAs to establish a transboundary MPA network that created migratory swimways for key marine species. The UK has provided some initial support to the region and seeks to build on this through its Seascapes Programme.
