on the principle of building blocks, whereby the next level cannot be attained if all the activities at the previous level have not be done or completed. Following are
some practical examples. It is should be emphasized here that the software used determines the level automatically.
Example: If the result of the evaluation is as follows,
Red Yellow
Green Blue
Gold
100 100
90 27
the conservation area being evaluated is level YELLOW. Another example:
If the result of the evaluation is as follows,
Red Yellow
Green Blue
Gold
95 47
20
the conservation area being evaluated is level RED, with a 95 achievement. Another example:
If the result of the evaluation is as follows,
Red Yellow
Green Blue
Gold
100 85
27 9
the conservation area being evaluated is level RED.
How to present the level of a conservation area
For reporting purposes then, only the level color and percentage achievement need be presented in reports, or for example, factsheets. Several examples are given
below:
100 means the conservation area is level RED
100 means the conservation area is level YELLOW 100
means the conservation area is level BLUE

A. Evaluation Data Collected
The evaluation data collected is then stored in an electronic file, and saved in a folder that is structured and named according to the agreed format. Storage of the
evaluation data files should be structured so that they are easy to find when needed again. An example of a folder structure for storing data is:
D:\Monitoring Data\Effectiveness After being stored electronically, the data recorded on the hardcopy of the form
are stored in a structured folder. The names of the files must also be standardized to make them easy to find and to compare between years. It is suggested that the
following format be used to name files: name of conservation area_data type_year collected.
Examples: Gili Matra_effectiveness_baseline2011.xls
Gili Matra_effectiveness_monitoring2012.xls When the data are entered and stored, then they can be analyzed.
B. Analysis
Based on the answers on the evaluation score card, the level of the conservation area being evaluated for its effectiveness can be determined; from red, yellow,
green, and blue to gold. This is based on macro and micro level evaluation. Each level has a value or achievement percentage. For example conservation are A is level
green, with a percentage achievement of 50. See the end of point D2: Evaluation Method above.
These levels can be compared over time to obtain information about the change in the effectiveness of the management of the area being evaluated at the agreed
time intervals. Increased effectiveness of the management of a conservation area over a particular time period does not necessarily mean a change in its level, but
could also mean a change in achievement at the same level. As well as analyzing changes in level and achievement at each level, analysis can
also be made of criteria that are not achieved at each level, including levels that have been achieved and levels that wish to be achieved. This analysis produced
recommendations, in the form of proposed programsactivities for the management team of the conservation area for management of the conservation that year andor
reporting period.
C. Conclusions
Conclusions are made based on the level and percentage effectiveness achieved for the conservation area. If the evaluation takes the form of monitoring, then the

conclusions can also be translated into change in effectiveness over time. Then, the conclusions can also be translated into recommendations or proposed
programsactivities for the subsequent year andor period.
D. Report Structure
The report of the findings of the evaluation of the management of an aquatic, coasts, and small islands conservation area should be presented as structured in

management of an aquatic, coasts and small islands conservation area

RECOMMENDATIONS AND FOLLOW UP ACTION A. Recommendations
From the results of the evaluation of the management effectiveness of the conservation area, to progress to the next level of sustainable management, at a
minimum it is recommended that the following steps be taken:
a. Evaluation result: Level 1 Red
Immediately establish a conservation area management unit
Immediately prepare a conservation area management plan
b. Evaluation result: Level 2 Yellow
Implement institutional strengthening
Build conservation area infrastructure
Perform key management activities
c. Evaluation result: Level 3 Green
Practice good conservation area management
d. Evaluation result: Level 4 Blue
Take measures to network with non-governmental organizations to
contribute to management of the conservation area
Forge partnerships with other non-governmental parties to manage the conservation area
e. Evaluation result: Level 5 Gold
Undertake monitoring and evaluation to maintain the sustainability of the
management of the conservation area
B. Follow Up Action
