MPA Enforcement, better understood as Monitoring, Control, Surveillance, and Enforcement (MCS&E), can be critical to effective coral reef management efforts, and many members of the Reef Resilience Network have identified enforcement as an area where they need more training and support. To address these needs, the Network, in partnership with Blue Nature Alliance and in close collaboration with WildAid, is developing a suite of online resources (including this Reef Exchanges episode, a webinar, case study, and online toolkit) for marine managers on MPA Enforcement. 

During this episode, Sunny provides an overview of the core concepts behind MCS&E, including how context-dependent and people-powered MCS&E systems are, while also touching on nuances and key considerations for managers to keep in mind as they being to scope their own MCS&E systems.
