SOUTHWEST INDIAN OCEAN SEASCAPE MADAGASCAR 2030

The document describes a strategic framework to protect marine biodiversity and build coastal resilience in Madagascar and the Southwest Indian Ocean. By 2030, WWF aims to ensure 70% of key marine ecosystems are protected or conserved, improve livelihoods for 420,000 people, and enhance food security and adaptive capacity for coastal communities across three priority areas. The strategy addresses challenges such as unsustainable fisheries, habitat loss, and climate change through integrated solutions spanning policy, climate adaptation, coastal restoration, and the development of a sustainable blue economy.

• WWF has established specific 2030 targets for the region, including the goal that 70% of key marine ecosystems, specifically mangroves and reefs, are recognized as or included within marine protected and conserved areas.
• The strategy targets social and economic improvements in three priority areas, aiming to improve livelihoods for 420,000 people and secure food access for coastal communities through improved social services.
• WWF identifies three primary interconnected challenges in the region: the unsustainable use of fisheries resources, the unsustainable use of coastal habitats, and the increasing impacts of climate change.
