Main Challenges
The lack of experience in MPA management needs to be addressed as these three MPAs are the first to be established in Montenegro. There is a lack of capacity, both in terms of equipment and trained staff, which can impair reaching the objectives of the MPAs. Public awareness and education should also be strenghtened.
