About

DEFRA awarded a contract to ICF Consulting Services Limited for developing a shortlist of potential Area Based Management Tools (ABMTs) in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) that could be developed into future ABMT proposals once the BBNJ Agreement enters into force.

The project involved identifying potential ABMTs based on best available evidence on their benefits to biodiversity, feasibility for implementation, assessment of how they meet the BBNJ ABMT objectives, and chance of success through the BBNJ process.

The work included two steps: identifying and assessing existing site proposals, and identifying new ABMTs, both in collaboration with stakeholders.

The contract value was AUD 100,000.
