USP and OceanForesters with welcome a global Lead Institution. SEAFood is envisioned as a global programme that offers coastal communities many possible projects to choose. Some communities might elect mostly marine protected areas. Some communities might elect mostly floating flexible built-reef ecosystems. Some might elect blends of several variations on SEAFood with Healthy Oceans.
OceanForesters may post more descriptions for more regions or improved versions of this description in December. This description contains more details than the Request for Endorsement submittal form. Regional Lead Institutions will have absolute control over their submittal. (Nice if the Regional Lead can cut and paste to fill out the Survey Monkey form.)
Potential Regional Lead Institutions or Partners can email markcapron@oceanforesters.org with the necessary information (see page 21). All are invited to suggest edits and make comments at the dedicated Ocean Decade Forum: https://www.oceandecade.org/forum or by email. Feel free to use this proposed programme description as a template to create your own programme and project proposals.
