• To identify needs and costs of marine reserve enforcement needs in 2 communities in Dampier Strait: training, technological needs, and on-going expenses (e.g., patrol boat, salaries for enforcement officers, fuel, buoys for snorkel and dive operations, etc.)
• To assess willingness of 2 communities in Lease Islands
• To identify viable investments in SME options which OneReef can help the community develop in exchange for the community’s effective protection of a no-take area
