Friends of the Marine Park Community

The Friends of Marine Park (FMP) Community consists of stakeholders from civil society, business, academia and public service. The network encourages community members to collaborate for the long-term survival of life in our seas. It is built on trusting relationships that enable resource users to get involved in the planning, development, and management of the Sisters’ Islands Marine Park. It facilitates activities that are mutually beneficial to the community and to the success of the nation’s first marine park. Communities are represented by various institutions, organisations and businesses that have expertise and interests in scientific research, cultural heritage, education, public service and sea sports and recreation. The network is administrated by the National Parks Board and supported by the Ministry of National Development.
