    Increasing the climate change resilience and public awareness of the Pointe Sable Environmental Protection Area and Pigeon Island National Landmark ecosystems


Brief Description:
The project is aimed to enhance the climate resilience of targeted ecosystems within the Pointe Sable Environmental Protection Area (PSEPA) and Pigeon Island National Landmark by strengthening the coastlines and improving the management and health of coastal ecosystems. Through this project it is expected to conduct several activities including: a) mangrove and coral reef assessments and rehabilitation plan, ecosystem valuation and rehabilitation works; b) conduct a coastal stabilisation study and recommendations for the PSEPA, along with building grey Infrastructure to reduce negative impacts on coastal resources and reduce soil erosion and sedimentation run-off; and d) increase public awareness and outreach for civil society on the importance of ecosystems in promoting climate resilience including the education of resource users to pursue alternative livelihoods, among other topics.
