1.) Adjustment of Adjust the management system of marine reserves
The system needs to be changed for the future. All Management of the all reserves must should be centralized under central the national government control instead of the being fragmented among local governmentgovernments. But However, for short term this such a reorganization is not feasible. The best temporary solution would be to set up a central team with members from all the government departments in charge of marine reserves now. Its goal would be connecting all the departments to make that currently have a role in managing Marine Protected Areas. The goal of such a team would be to facilitate communication and reduce redundancies, making the management more effective and practical.
