Wider Caribbean Region – A Pivotal Time to Strengthen Regional Instruments For Biodiversity Conservation

Science is improving our understanding of the human contributions to this decline, but national policies and programmes have not kept pace with this understanding. Th e Caribbean Regional Seas Programme and its Cartagena Convention and Protocols provide the regional legal framework for protection and sustainable management of the WCR’s living marine and coastal resources.
