 Do you know when the MPA project started before its official designation (number of years)?



 OVERALL BUDGET ANALYSIS
 Sufficient financial resources are key to the effective management of a protected area. A protected area without enough financing  to
 perform basic management activities is just a ‘paper park’, unable to fulfil its objectives. Comparison between your recent expenses
 and revenues provides us a measure of the sufficiency of your current resources.

 EXPENSES
 Please indicate the total amount of financial resources spent in 2012, 2013, 2014 on your MPA.
 Indicate in the “comments” column the level of confidence in the estimated amount (high, medium, low) and/or any other additional
 comments.

 21 - Monetary values will be adjusted according to purchasing power parity (PPP), an indicator of the local ‘value’ of one U.S. dollar. This adjustment provides a standardization to
 remove the effect of relative variation in economies between countries.
 22 - I.e. when did the idea that a particular location deserves protection emerge? This question aims at estimating the duration of the establishment/creation phase, i.e. the period
 between the idea that a particular location deserves protection and official designation of the MPA.
 23 - Recurrent / operating costs correspond to costs associated with the administrative and operational functioning of the MPA. They include costs of: wages (administrative, field
 &scientific staff), the maintenance of offices, vehicles and the area, electricity and water, basic equipment (GPS, uniforms etc).
 24 - Investment costs represent the cost of new equipment, new infrastructure, education & training and scientific monitoring development.
