The Global Environment Facility (GEF) investment will counteract the loss of coastal marine biodiversity in a production land/seascape in the Coastal Marine Special Management Zone (ZEMMC) in the southern part of the Azuero Peninsula in Panama. This will be achieved through the development of an enabling policy environment for the integrated environmental management of coastal marine production landscapes, facilitating the conservation and sustainable use of coastal marine biodiversity of global importance and the ecosystems goods and services provided to society through the integrated environmental management of the ZEMMC (292,970 hectares [ha]), and by systematizing best practices and lessons learned about coastal marine biodiversity conservation and its sustainable use in production landscapes and seascapes of the ZEMMC of the southern part of the Azuero Peninsula, thereby ensuring that these are made available for use in other production landscapes and seascapes in Panama. The project will help to maintain stable populations of selected fish species of commercial importance as a result of the use of best fishing practices, maintain the coverage of sea turtle nesting beaches, maintain stable numbers of three species 1 | Page of sea turtles nesting in the beaches of the southern area of the Azuero Peninsula, maintain the coverage of 6,072.3 ha of mangroves in the ZEMMC, and improve the habitat for coastal marine biodiversity of global and local importance in the southern area of the Azuero Peninsula as a result of reduced contamination (trash, solid waste, and agrochemicals) and sedimentation (erosion control). The project will span 4 years with a total cost of USD 7,384,030; USD 1,780,822 financed through a GEF grant and USD 5,603,208 in parallel co‐financing.
