Congratulations to Príncipe island! The Regional Government and fishing communities, with the support of the Omali Vida Nón project, have agreed to create the first Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the country and jointly selected the priority areas for this purpose.
This major step was taken during the Assembly of the Co-Management of MPAs held on September 10th, in the presence of the President of the Regional Government and representatives of various stakeholders. With this initiative we intend to regenerate fisheries resources and improve the livelihoods of fishermen and palâies, protect biodiversity and marine habitats, as well as contribute to the Sustainable Development Plan of Príncipe (Principe2030) goal regarding the creation of MPAs. Once again the island of Príncipe demonstrates to be a model of sustainability that cares for its natural resources and the class of fishermen and palâies - who feed the country!
