Case study on introduction of aquaponics for sustainable food crop production: Petite Martinique Women in Action (PMWIA)
Local food production is good for local economies, but in small islands like Petite Martinique that have scarce water resources, some degree of innovation is needed to grow crops year-round. The smallest of the islands that make up the tri-island state of Grenada, Petite Martinique has an area of 2.5 km2 and a population of about 900 people who live mainly in coastal villages. It is located just north of Grenada and is accessible only by boat. One group that has been taking steps to increase the availability of fresh food is Petite Martinique Women in Action (PMWIA). Operating out of the community of Madam Pierre since 2016, PMWIA is a local civil society organisation that aims to empower women and youth on the island through gender balance initiatives and livelihood creation geared at sustainable economic development. PMWIA produces produce vegetables commercially using a greenhouse and aquaponics system powered by solar energy. The PMWIA case study was developed under the regional project ‘Powering Innovations in Civil Society and Enterprises for Sustainability in the Caribbean’ (PISCES), which was funded by the European Union EuropeAid programme and implemented by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) from 2017 to 2021.

Case study on the Grande Riviere Nature Tour Guides Association, a local green‐blue enterprise in Trinidad and Tobago.
This case study reflects findings of a process using CANARI’s Local Green‐Blue Enterprise Radar1. This is a tool to help local community small and micro‐enterprises assess how they are delivering ‘triple‐bottom line’ benefits (economic, environmental and social) and good governance, and what are possible areas for improvement. A focus group session is facilitated with members of the enterprise and they are asked to assess how they think the business is doing based on a set of indicators. Each indicator is discussed, and members agree on a ranking for each. The ranking for each indicator is placed on a spider diagram, which visually represents a snapshot of how the enterprise is delivering benefits. The rich discussion helps members of the enterprise work together to assess how they are doing and areas where they want to grow.

The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute provided support to the ICFFA via a small grant under the C-SAP project, and mentoring provided under the regional PISCES project. ICFFA’s increased seamoss production was key to helping mitigate the financial impacts of the reduced catch presently experienced by fisherfolk in the Gingerland community due to climate change and other factors.
