The advisor came up with the information at a meeting for finalising the Integrated Management Plan for the Swatch of no-ground Marine Protected Area (SONG-MPA) held virtually.<\/p>\n
The government took the plan to protect threatened marine species such as dolphins, whales, sharks, rays, and turtles, along with their habitats, through marine spatial planning, community engagement, and multi-agency enforcement, she said.<\/p>\n
She also said the plan not only ensures biodiversity protection but also supports sustainable marine fisheries and coastal livelihoods, contributing to a resilient blue economy. The plan emphasises strategic zoning, pollution control, and active participation of coastal communities as stewards of the marine ecosystem, she added.<\/p>\n
She said led by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the initiative underscores a collaborative approach with multiple agencies and coastal communities to balance marine resource utilization with environmental preservation.<\/p>\n
The plan is a cornerstone for advancing Bangladesh’s commitment to marine biodiversity conservation and a thriving blue economy, said the adviser.<\/p>\n
