Con el presente informe mundial de síntesis se quiere destacar
la singularidad del conjunto de valores que los pastos marinos
proporcionan a las personas de todo el mundo. Su objetivo es
presentar una síntesis con base científica de los numerosos
servicios vinculados a estas plantas y de los riesgos asociados
a su pérdida en esta era de cambio climático y de pérdida y
degradación de hábitats a escala mundial. En este informe
se aportan opciones de gestión y políticas en los planos
local, regional y global, con el objetivo de compartir mejores
prácticas y evitar nuevas pérdidas. También se destacan las
oportunidades que unas medidas de conservación efectivas,
la gestión sostenible y los esfuerzos exitosos de restauración
para los ecosistemas de pastos marinos pueden brindar a los
Gobiernos en el cumplimiento de sus compromisos, metas y
objetivos de política ambiental internacional

Update on implementing EBM/EAF in the CLME+ region

CERMES conducted another desk study of the status in the CLME+ region to update the 2018 assessment. Data were collected from online resources, and by internet communication with key persons in CLME+ countries and leading organizations. We found, from the limited information available, that most of the 40 states and territories assessed are making incremental progress towards the implementation of EBM/EAF at the national level. For example, in CARICOM, the countries of Belize, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis are where comprehensive EBM is being increasingly demonstrated.

Valuing The Cost and Benefits of Improved Wastewater Management: An Economic Valuation Resource Guide for the Wider Caribbean Region

Wastewater management in the Wider Caribbean Region is a major challenge – the lack of resources  and infrastructure to properly treat wastewater has led to water pollution resulting in negative impacts to important coastal and freshwater ecosystems and to human health. Across the region, 80% of domestic wastewater entering the Caribbean Sea remains untreated; 51.5 % of households lack sewer connections; and only 17% of households are connected to acceptable collection and treatment systems (GEF CREW 2012).
