Promoting and enhancing the ecological and economic value of Anguilla’s marine parks: piloting the Little Bay Marine Park restoration - CLME+ HUB

    Promoting and enhancing the ecological and economic value of Anguilla’s marine parks: piloting the Little Bay Marine Park restoration


Brief Description:
The project will construct and deploy lobster casitas (artificial shelters) within the Little Bay Marine Park (LBMP), creating a “sanctuary” that will also provide critical habitat to other reef fish, sea turtle, and coral reef species. The project will diversify LBMP’s value through awareness raising on the importance of Anguilla’s nearshore ecosystems and providing alternative livelihood opportunities (eco-tourism) to fishers. This is a BEST 2 initiative project.

El proyecto diversificará el valor de LBMP a través de la concienciación sobre la importancia de los ecosistemas cercanos a la costa de Anguila y brindará oportunidades de medios de vida alternativos (ecoturismo) a los pescadores. Este es un proyecto de iniciativa BEST 2.

The CLME+ Hub is an initiative of the Secretariat of the CLME+ Interim Coordination Mechanism (ICM), in collaboration with the members of the CLME+ ICM and CLME+ Project Executive Group (PEG) and (prospective) Partner Organizations. Development of the Hub has benefited from the financial support of the UNDP/GEF Project: “Catalysing Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for the Sustainable Management of shared Living Marine Resources in the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems” (CLME+ Project, 2015-2020). The CLME+ Project is executed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) in close collaboration with a large number of global, regional and national-level partners.
