Other Regional and Global CommitmentsSargAdapt Adapting to a new reality: Managing responses to influxes of Sargassum seaweed in the Eastern Caribbean as ecosystem hazards and opportunities
Adaptándose a una nueva realidad: Respuestas a las arribazones de algas Sargassum en el Caribe Oriental como amenazas y oportunidades para los ecosistemasBrief Description:The project is aimed to reduce the impacts of and improve adaptation to sargassum influxes in the Eastern Caribbean with emphasis on converting a climate-linked ecosystem hazard into an asset that supports opportunities for socio-economic development. It is comprised by three components: 1) To develop appropriate management responses to sargassum influxes to lessen damage to coastal and marine ecosystems and human livelihoods based on enhanced knowledge and understanding of patterns and impacts of sargassum influxes. This will enhance stakeholders’ knowledge to appropriately respond and adapt to sargassum influxes with good practices. 2) To enhance the technical and institutional capacity of stakeholders to cope with, plan for, sustainably manage, and adapt to sargassum influxes. This will build networks and partnerships among science, industry and community stakeholders to promote best practices and innovation and sustain adaptation to Sargassum influxes. 3) To reinforce the ability of marine and coastal stakeholders for adaptive planning, management and ecosystem and livelihood resilience through practical applications. This will enable Sargassum-Smart Communities with reduced climate risk and tangible climate adaptation benefits.El proyecto tiene como objetivo reducir los impactos y mejorar la adaptación a las arribazones de sargazo en el Caribe oriental, con énfasis en convertir un peligro del ecosistema vinculado al clima en un activo que respalde las oportunidades de desarrollo socioeconómico. Se compone de tres componentes: 1) Desarrollar respuestas de gestión adecuadas para reducir el daño a los ecosistemas costeros y marinos y los medios de vida humanos sobre la base de un mejor conocimiento y comprensión de los patrones e impactos de las arribazaciones de sargazo. Esto mejorará el conocimiento de las partes interesadas para responder y adaptarse adecuadamente a las afluencias de sargazo con buenas prácticas. 2) Mejorar la capacidad técnica e institucional de las partes interesadas para hacer frente, planificar, gestionar de forma sostenible y adaptarse a las afluencias de sargazo. Esto creará redes y asociaciones entre la ciencia, la industria y las partes interesadas de la comunidad para promover las mejores prácticas y la innovación y mantener la adaptación a las afluencias de Sargassum. 3) Reforzar la capacidad de las partes interesadas marinas y costeras para la planificación adaptativa, la gestión y la resiliencia de los ecosistemas y los medios de vida mediante aplicaciones prácticas. Esto permitirá a las comunidades Sargassum-Smart con un riesgo climático reducido y beneficios tangibles de adaptación al clima.Lead Organization : Centre for Resource Management & Environmental Studies (CERMES)Donor: Caribbean Biodiversity Fund & International Climate Initiative (IKI)Project ID:Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: OngoingLast Update: 19/10/2020

Other Regional and Global CommitmentsSSF-Gender Implementing gender aspects within SSF Guidelines and the protocol to the Caribbea Community Common Fisheries Policy (CCCFP) for securing SSF
SSF-GeneroBrief Description:The project is aimed to provide more in-depth knowledge of gender in fisheries to inform the implementation of the SSF Guidelines, the CCCFP SSF Protocol, and to support FAO\'s Blue Growth initiative in various projects. Two main outputs are expected. The first is looking at communicating with policy making and policy advisors: Support the evidence-based and advocacy-oriented policy influence of project partners and facilitate planning of the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA), 2022. Among the main activities are the selection of policy champions, and the testing of policy communication in about 3 countries, and the support planning for Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2022. The second will inform mainstreaming about gender analysis through using experiences and a study of gender in fisheries in CRFM countries to achieve both deeper and wider coverage linked especially to SDG 5 and SDG 14. The collection and use of sex disaggregated data and information will be supported and promoted as a good practice beyond the necessity in some projects.El proyecto tiene como objetivo proporcionar un conocimiento más profundo del componente de género en la pesca para informar acerca de la implementación de las Directrices PPE, el Protocolo PPE del CCCFP y para apoyar la iniciativa Crecimiento Azul de la FAO. Se esperan dos resultados principales. El primero consiste en comunicarse con los asesores de formulación de políticas para apoyar el que su influencia está basada en datos y orientada a la promoción de los actores de la pesca y facilitar la planificación del Año Internacional de la Pesca y la Acuicultura Artesanales (IYAFA), 2022. Entre las principales actividades se encuentran la selección de campeones de políticas y comunicaciones sobre políticas en 3 países. El segundo informará sobre la incorporación de una perspectiva de género basada en análisis de género y uso de experiencias, así como un estudio de género en la pesca en los países del CRFM para lograr una cobertura más profunda y amplia vinculada especialmente al ODS 5 y al ODS 14. Se apoyará la recopilación y el uso de datos e información desglosados por sexo y se promoverá como una buena práctica más allá de su necesidad en algunos proyectos.Lead Organization : Centre for Resource Management & Environmental Studies (CERMES)Donor: FAOProject ID: 66060Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: OngoingLast Update: 14/10/2020

Other Regional and Global CommitmentsEBM-DSS Biodiversity for Sustainable Development in the Caribbean through Ecosystem Based Management
Gestión Ecosistémica de la Biodiversidad para el Desarrollo Sostenible del CaribeBrief Description:Develop partnerships to increase of technical skills on MPA management and enhanced the use of the methodological and operational tool for EBM-Decision Support System (EBM-DSS), providing decision makers with truly systemic objective planning and management capacities for sustainable development. The CaMPAM MPA database was significantly improved. The EBM-DSS tool was successfully applied in the Dominican Republic, in two pilot sites, Puerto Plata and Montecristi, with results emanating priority actions for implementation and monitoring. Training and capacity building were carried out in Spanish and English speaking countries, through the SPAW CaMPAM Programme (22 countries) in the Wider Caribbean, as well as through two main regional workshops carried out in synergy with institutional partners in the region. Dissemination and awareness raising of EBM-DSS were carried through different regional fora during the course of the project, as well as through a Teamwork Platform and short-term social media campaign led by CEP.Desarrollar alianzas para mejorar las habilidades técnicas en la gestión de las AMPs y el uso de una herramienta metodológica y operativa para el Sistema de Apoyo a la Toma de Decisión EBM (EBM-DSS), proporcionando a los tomadores de decisiones capacidades de planificación y gestión objetivas verdaderamente sistémicas para el desarrollo sostenible. La base de datos de AMP de CaMPAM se fortalecio significativamente. La herramienta EBM-DSS se aplicó con éxito en la República Dominicana, en dos sitios piloto, Puerto Plata y Montecristi, con resultados que emanan acciones prioritarias para su implementación y monitoreo. La capacitación y el desarrollo de capacidades se llevaron a cabo en países de habla hispana e inglesa, a través del Programa SPAW CaMPAM (22 países) en el Gran Caribe, así como a través de dos talleres regionales principales realizados en sinergia con socios institucionales en la región. La difusión y la sensibilización de EBM-DSS se llevaron a cabo a través de diferentes foros regionales durante el curso del proyecto, así como a través de una Plataforma de trabajo en equipo y una campaña de redes sociales a corto plazo dirigida por el CEP.Lead Organization : UNEP CEPDonor: Italian Government, Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development (AICS) , IUCN-ORMACC , OSPARProject ID: DA/2014/DEPI/CAR/RCUGeographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 14/07/2020
