• Provide two way communications between the MPA, and the community, using existing mechanisms where possible
• Within the project planning processes, provide feedback on community requirements, comments on individual proposals, and the overall strategies and identify gaps
• Assist with marketing and promoting the MPA strategies within the community and interested bodies
