Hello,
Would anyone have any examples of communication plans/strategies for marine protected areas? (or any other situations that might be of help). The MPA I am focussing on poses unique challenges as it lies some 300km offshore - so signage and similar are not feasible. A small group of commercial marine tour operators travel there and very few itinerant yachts. I am looking for some interesting ways of putting a comm strat together that will identify key audiences, key messages any other points bought to light..... and produce a selection of creative and effective 'tools' This needs to address both internal and external communications. I have not found many examples that grab me with format etc, so would love some inspiring and creative advice!
Cheers,

You asked about examples of communication plans/strategies for marine protected areas. Do a web search for Haida Gwaii Abalone Stewards (British Columbia) and for Toledo Institute for Development and Environment.

Hi Fiona,
You definitely need to talk to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority who have been doing some sterling communication work in Queensland. I'm sure the communications people there would be happy to help.

This is geared toward marinas, but Florida's Green Marina program may have some info that will help you: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/law/Grants/CMP/
