Implementing the Reimaanlok Conservation Planning Process

The appendices provide a tool for facilitators to assist communities in developing their resource
management plans for community-based conservation areas. There are templates, exercises,
and instructions that will help guide the eight step process described in Reimaanlok and its
Facilitator's Guide. These are not the only tools to available, but are ones that have been used
and found to be useful in the Reimaanlok process thus far in the Marshall Islands. These can be
