Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas And Wildlife To The Convention For The Protection And Development Of The Marine Environment Of The Wider Caribbean Region

Adopted in Kingston, Jamaica by the member governments of the Caribbean Environment Programme (CEP) on 18 January 1990, the SPAW Protocol preceded other international environmental agreements in utilizing an ecosystem approach to conservation. The Protocol acts as a vehicle to assist with regional implementation of the broader and more demanding global Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The objectives of the SPAW Protocol are to protect, preserve and manage in a sustainable way: 1) areas and ecosystems that require protection in order to safeguard their special value, 2) threatened or endangered species of flora and fauna and their habitats, and 3) species, with the objective of preventing them from becoming endangered or threatened.
