Protection and integrated management of coastal and marine biodiversity (TerraMar II)

The proposed project builds on the experiences and lessons learned of the predecessor project “TerraMar”. It support Brazil to improve the conservation and sustainable use of coastal and marine ecosystems, to build resilience against climate change and promote a just transition towards a blue and circular economy. To achieve this, it adopts a multi-level, gender-responsive approach. The project strengthens Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and coastal management. Further it supports the development or revision and implementation of national policies and instruments for the conservation and sustainable use of coastal and marine ecosystems. In addition, the project incorporates several cross-cutting aspects across all project components, including climate change, gender equity, inclusion of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC), and capacity development.
