Establish the National Reserve "Mar Tropical de Grau"

The objective of establishing the protected natural area (ANP) is to conserve a representative sample of the marine ecosystems of the Guayaquil ecoregion and the confluence zone of marine currents in Peru, contributing to the sustainable development of the population. The methodology for its implementation is based on the work with the different interest groups in coordination with the head of the ANP for the development of actions planned in its management document (Master Plan) aimed at achieving its objective. It should be noted that the Master Plan is the highest level planning document of an ANP and that it has to be reviewed and updated every 5 years, in which the execution, reporting and evaluation phase of its implementation is exposed, for which it constitutes a guiding tool both for the head of the ANP and for the different actors involved in its management. The implementation of the Master Plan is planned annually under a prioritization of activities through the Annual Operational Plan, identifying specific activities to be developed by SERNANP and by the actors of the interest groups according to the commitments assumed, with the head of the ANP being responsible to coordinate the results of the previous implementation report. The evaluation of the progress obtained both at the level of objectives (Measurement of the changes in the indicators of the objectives, in relation to the goal set in the master plan) and progress in the fulfillment of the lines of action (implementation of strategies and compliance with strategies of the different actors) must be carried out annually. The Sernanp is aware that it is necessary to involve and promote the level of participation of civil society, its participation in decision-making is important, considering that this involvement must contribute to assuming responsibilities within a governance process, it has been working mainly on the concept of governance from the Management Committee-CG, that once the ANP is established, it has to conform since it is the most important space for citizen participation for the management of the ANP, it allows consultation and the exchange of ideas between all the people and institutions interested and committed to the management of the ANP. Their ideas and contributions are taken into account by the leadership of the ANP to include them in the planning instruments for the benefit of the ANP. The CGs are made up of duly accredited representatives of civil organizations, public institutions, private companies, non-profit organizations and natural persons who have an interest or interference in the ANP and in the buffer zone, whose economic, social or policy is closely related to the aims and objectives of the ANP.
