Flagship Regional Sites</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Nominations for Cat 1 and 2 are reviewed solely in-country by the NCC or its designated body, using the MPA assessment tool in place in the country. NCC will decide if a site meets National and Regional criteria for Cat 1 or 2, and the CTMPAS TWG will respect the NCC evaluation and accept the recommendation</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Nominations for Cat 3 and 4 go through a regional-level process conducted by a Regional Advisory Group. Regional MPA TWG has the final decision on which sites will be accepted into CTMPAS under Cat 3 and 4.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Category 4: “Flagship Sites”: These include large, already effectively managed sites that</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>have regional ecological, governance or socioeconomic importance. These are “no-regret sites”</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>that are clearly important within the system. Nominations for Flagship Sites will be reviewed</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>and approved by a regional CTMPAS Advisory Committee.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Category 3: “Priority Development Sites”: These are sites of regional ecological,</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>governance or socioeconomic importance that are not yet effectively managed and thus need</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>additional assistance. These are also new sites added to the system as recommended by a</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>regional gap analysis because they make a specific contribution to the regional system as a</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>whole. Similar to Category 4, these are sites that are clearly of regional importance. Nominations</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>for Priority Development Sites will be reviewed and approved by a regional CTMPAS Advisory</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Committee.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Category 2: “Effectively Managed Regional Sites”: These are existing sites that meet</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>agreed minimum criteria for design and management effectiveness as specified in the CTMPAS</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Framework. Nominated sites are reviewed and approved for inclusion in Category 2 by each</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>country’s National Advisory Committee based on a national management effectiveness system</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>if it exists, and the criteria set out in the CTMPAS. The national decision process may vary</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>among countries, but MPAs accepted into Category 2 should at least achieve the minimum criteria.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>15</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Category 1: “Recognized CTMPAS Sites”: These are sites that meet the minimum data</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>requirements and are included in the CT Atlas1</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
