The combination of the dugong’s life 4 Annex 1: Project Document history of being long-lived and slow breeding, its extensive geographic range and dependence on tropical seagrass habitats makes it highly vulnerable to many adverse anthropogenic impacts. Moreover, given the dugong’s capacity to move across jurisdictional boundaries, coordinating management initiatives across these boundaries is crucial to its long-term survival. The Dugong and Seagrass Conservation Project will build on ongoing and planned national and international conservation efforts sustained by all participating national governments and conservation organisations involved in the project at the local, national and regional levels. The wider conservation and development goal to which the project contributes is: “to improve the conservation status of dugongs and their seagrass habitats across the Indian and Pacific Ocean basins”. The Dugong and Seagrass Conservation Project objective is: “to enhance the effectiveness of conservation of dugongs and their seagrass ecosystems across the Indian and Pacific Ocean basins”. The project will enhance the effectiveness of conservation efforts for dugongs and their seagrass ecosystems across the Indian and Pacific Ocean basins through specific actions in eight countries and wider regional and global activities (funded by GEF and co-financing). This will be achieved through community based stewardship at key sites for dugongs; increases in sustainable fisheries practices including the use of innovative incentives and tools; increases in availability of critical knowledge for conservation action for dugongs and seagrass; and mainstreaming dugong and seagrass conservation priorities into national and regional policies and planning. This project represents the first coordinated approach across a wide range of countries towards the conservation of dugongs and their seagrass habitats. In addition, tools and lessons learned will be shared across the project stakeholders and globally through information sharing via a Clearing House Mechanism and the Dugong, Seagrass and Coastal Communities Initiative under the CMS Dugong MoU. 5 Annex 1: Project Document TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1: PROJECT IDENTIFICATION ..................................................................................... 1 Project summary .................................................................................................................................... 4 Table of Contents ................................................................................................................................... 6 Tables ........................................................................................................................................ 7 Figures ........................................................................................................................................ 7 Acronyms and Abbreviations ................................................................................................................ 8 SECTION 2: BACKGROUND AND SITUATION ANALYSIS (BASELINE COURSE OF ACTION) ................ 10 2.1.
