MPA Governance    Adaptive capacity for MPA governance in the eastern Caribbean

Brief Description:
The objective of this project was to strengthen adaptive capacity building for the governance of MPAs in the eastern Caribbean based on resilience thinking in: 1) Develop the adaptive capacity of key stakeholders in Grenada for MPA governance mainly through four linked training workshops with follow-up practical learning by doing; 2) Extend the above capacity development to Saint Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines for a limited comparison of MPA sites so as to inform potential replication, and 3) Document and foster learning from the outcomes of objectives 1 and 2 regionally and internationally through use of multiple media for communication with MPA interests.

CLME+ Catalysing Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme for the Sustainable Management of shared Living Marine Resources in the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems

Catalizando la Implementación del Programa de Acciones Estratégicas para el Manejo Sostenible de los Recursos Marinos Vivos Compartidos de los Grandes Ecosistemas Marinos del Caribe y de la Plataforma Continental del Norte de Brasil (región CLME+)
Brief Description:
The UNDP/GEF CLME+ Project is a five-year project that specifically aims at facilitating the implementation of the ten-year politically endorsed Strategic Action Programme for the Sustainable Management of the Shared Living Marine Resources of the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems (CLME+ SAP). The project seeks to achieve this by facilitating ecosystem based management/an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EBM/EAF) within the CLME+ region, in such a way that a sustainable and climate resilient provision of goods and services from the region’s living marine resources can be secured. Given its regional and comprehensive nature, the UNDP/GEF CLME+ Project is uniquely positioned to address the root causes of environmental degradation, in particular the gaps and weaknesses in transboundary and cross-sectoral governance arrangements. In this same context, the project will assist stakeholders in achieving improved coordination, collaboration and integration among the wide array of ongoing and newly planned projects and initiatives that are of relevance to the wider objectives of the CLME+ SAP.

El proyecto CLME+ del PNUD/FMAM es una iniciativa que busca facilitar la implementación del Programa de Acciones Estratégicas para el Manejo Sostenible de los Recursos Marinos Vivos Compartidos de los Grandes Ecosistemas Marinos del Mar Caribe y de la Plataforma Del Norte De Brasil (PAE del CLME+), el cual ha sido trazado a 10 años y endosado por múltiples países de la región. El proyecto busca lograr dicha implementación facilitando la gestión basada en el ecosistema y un enfoque ecosistémico para la pesca (MEE / EEP) dentro de la región CLME +, de tal manera que pueda asegurarse el suministro de bienes y servicios que involucran recursos marinos vivos de la región de manera sostenible y resiliente al cambio climático. Dada su naturaleza regional e integral, el Proyecto CLME+ del PNUD/FMAM está enfocado en atacar las causas principales de la degradación ambiental, en particular las brechas y debilidades en los acuerdos de gobernanza transfronterizos e intersectoriales. En este mismo contexto, el proyecto ayuda a las partes interesadas a lograr una mejor coordinación, colaboración e integración entre la amplia gama de proyectos e iniciativas en curso y recientemente planificados que son relevantes para los objetivos más amplios del PAE CLME+.
