CLME+ Strategic Action Programme 2015-2025 Origin and concept Start 2025 -. Monitor and Evaluate results of the implementation Evaluate Problems TDA Formulate the SAP 2009-2014 2016-2019 Implement the SAP 2015-2025
CLME+ Project activities 2015-2020 Monitor and Evaluate results of the implementation 1. Common approaches and protocols for M&E of SAP implementation 2. Reporting mechanism State of the Marine Environment and associated Economies (SOMEE) 3. Sustainability Strategy/Plan for the periodic update of the report beyond project life span INDICATORS From a Project s initiative to an INSTITUTIONALIZED MECHANISM to support decisión making, in the long term
SAP M&E and SOMEE overlap, but not completely! Non-IGO partners in SAP implementation may wish to report on indicators relevant to the CLME+, without them being formally adopted as part of the SOMEE reporting mechanism SAP M&E SOMEE There may be IGO reporting needs that fall outside the scope of the SAP, and that need to be incorporated in the SOMEE mechanism (e.g. emerging issues such as sargassum, or fisheries not covered by the SAP, etc.)
State of the Marine Ecosystems and Associated Economies in the CLME+ Institutionalize the TDA/SAP approach What is SOMEE? A comprehensive, institutionalized and collaborative regional assessment mechanism of the state and governance of the CLME+ shared living marine resources, its ecosystem goods and services and the socio-economic aspects related to their use. It will inform decision-making and create a bridge between the fisheries and environment sectors and other sectors of society. For whom? Governments IGO Donors NGO and other supporting organizations By whom? UN SDG 14: CBD Strategic Goal B: What is the contribution? Conserve and sustainably use the ocean, seas and marine resources for sustainable development Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity and promote sustainable use World Ocean Assessment: The regular process would be recognized as the global mechanism for reviewing the state of the marine environment, including socioeconomic aspects, on a continual and systematic basis. Ecosystem approaches would be recognized as a useful framework for conducting fully integrated assessments
MANDATE Institutionalize the TDA/SAP approach SAP Action 1.11 Establish and/or enhance the capacity of the regional, sub regional and national governance arrangements for the monitoring, assessment and reporting on the state of the marine environment.

Examples of contents in SOMEE CHAPTER 2.4.1 Region-wide governance arrangements and processes for the protection of the marine environment The line graph allows to easily communicate trends and progress, current status as well as distance to target. It does however not tell us which countries have not yet ratified the Protocol. The map visualizes which countries have ratified the Protocol and where they are located. The map allows to detect subregional patterns and can be used to support decision making on where to focus further efforts. The map also provides an understanding of the extent of marine space that will benefit from better protection through the SPAW Protocol.

By using different color codes and by noting the level in confidence, it is possible to determine with more precision the level at which regulations such as a fishing ban are implemented and enforced in the field.

Food for discussion for the SAG The Eighth Session of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) of WECAFC may wish to consider the following: The critical need for streamlined arrangements between national reporting on SDG14.4.1, regional reporting such as SOMEE, and FAO s global State of Fisheries and Aquaculture ; The opportunities that SOMEE opens for transboundary collaboration, statistical development and to strengthen the science-policy interphase and highlight the socio-economic aspects associated to fisheries The importance of sustainable WECAFC-CRFM-OSPESCA joint Working Groups
