Description

Background to Project

JNCC co-leads the Marine Biodiversity theme of the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP), a UK government-led programme under the Blue Planet Programme. More information on the OCPP can be found here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-planet-fund/ocean-country-partnership-programme-ocpp.

Since 2021 the OCPP has been working in collaboration with the Government of Maldives providing technical assistance for MPAs. In 2023/24 the OCPP supported a review of shark diving practices at Fuvahmulah to inform the Maldives Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy (MCCEE) and Fuvahmulah City Council (FCC) of current management measures and best practice options.

This contract focuses on the development of shark diving codes of conduct tailored to Fuvahmulah, based on best practices highlighted in the 'Review of shark diving practices at Fuvahmulah, Maldives' report, and the contractor and local stakeholder expertise and experience. Additionally, the contract seeks to scope requirements for the development of a shark dive guide certification training programme for local dives guides to undertake (noting this contract does not include the delivery of this training at this stage).
