Community creation and management of the Velondriake marine protected area (2009)
The Velondriake community-managed protected area evolved from the establishment of a successful temporary octopus no-take-zone by the village of Andavadoaka in November 2004 to a fully-fledged marine protected area officially incepted in October 2006. Presently it encompasses 25 villages and is a vehicle through which 6,500 people are effectively husbanding their natural resources, developing alternative livelihoods and tackling the social challenges they face.
