Developed by and for civil society, fisherfolk and community enterprises in the CLME+ region, “People Managing Oceans” is a framework to guide their practical actions for a healthy marine environment that provides benefits and livelihoods for the well-being of the people of the region.
Published in English and Spanish by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) in December 2018, “People Managing Oceans” lays out an ambitious programme to unify and focus civil society action across the region to implement 8 strategies and 90 associated actions for management of key coastal and marine ecosystems: coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves, pelagic ecosystems, and continental shelf ecosystems. It also outlines priorities for strengthening civil society’s capacity and enabling mechanisms for participatory governance and management of oceans.
