Established in 1960 through UNESCO’s 11th General Conference, the IOC is mandated “to promote international cooperation and to coordinate programmes in research, services and capacity-building, in order to learn more about the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of management, sustainable development, the protection of the marine environment, and the decision-making processes of its Member States” (IOC Statutes, Article 2.1 ).

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.You can access to the CLME+ EBM/EAF Inventory using this link
