The Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) is a practical and straightforward tool designed to track and evaluate the effectiveness of management in protected areas, including marine protected areas (MPAs). Developed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the World Bank, METT is widely used to assess management practices and identify areas for improvement. The tool helps protected area managers and stakeholders understand how well their areas are being managed and where they can make strategic enhancements.
