Brief Description:The NBS Mangrove Project, was an 18 month project organised under a single component to help establish a shared and multi-national process for an Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) in the NBS. The project recognises the prevalence, socio-ecological importance and connectivity of mangroves in the retention and generation of key ecosystem services (fisheries, coastal protection and defences, water quality, blue carbon etc.) from which communities in the NBS countries are beneficiaries. The countries of Suriname and Guyana were prioritised to consolidate and improve the technical knowledge base necessary to further national and complementary regional coastal management strategies with neighbouring countries Brazil (Amapa state) and French Guiana. In this sense the project builds on, and supports, the antecedents and key elements of the regional agreement established within the CLME+SAP relevant for the NBS region. The objectives of the NBS Mangrove Project are: 1. To generate the necessary baseline knowledge and technical assessments as inputs towards a collaborative vision and a coordinated well-informed management of NBS mangrove systems, with emphasis on the information needs of Guyana and Suriname. 2. To support development of transboundary coordination mechanism(s) between the countries of Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Brazil (state of Amapá) towards the improved integrated coastal management of the extensive, ecologically connected yet vulnerable mangrove habitat of the NBS region. The project developed a series of studies and technical outputs to better understand and manage mangrove habitats and coastal ecosystems to the benefit of human well-being in the North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem Region.Lead Organization : CI & IUCNDonor: GEFProject ID: 9949Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 13/03/2020

PIMS 2193- Manejo Sostenible de los Recursos Marinos Vivos Compartidos del Gran Ecosistema Marino del Caribe (CLME) y Regiones AdyacentesBrief Description:A preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) identified three priority transboundary problems that affect the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME) and Adjacent Regions: • Unsustainable exploitation of fish and other living marine resources • Habitat degradation and community modification • Pollution The final TDAs prepared under the full-sized CLME Project serve as the scientific basis for the development of an agreed program of interventions (called “SAP”), which may include policy, legal and institutional reforms, conservation measures and pollution control. This Strategic Action Programme (SAP) will document the shared, and commonly-agreed upon vision of the countries participating in the CLME Project with regard to the priority interventions, reforms, and investments that are required to ensure the sustainable provision of goods and services from living marine resources in the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR). More specifically, the CLME Project will facilitate the strengthening of the governance of key fishery ecosystems in the WCR, at the regional, sub-regional and national levels. For this purpose, CLME will give particular attention to the strengthening of horizontal and vertical (technical and political) linkages between existing structures. To assist this process, the project will create an integrated Information Management System (IMS), bringing together congruent fisheries, biological, pollution, and socio-economic data and information as a powerful management tool. Similarly, a framework for periodic monitoring and evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the CLME goals and objectives will be developed.La visión de la intervención del GEF será la de asistir a los países del Caribe, por medio de un enfoque a nivel de ecosistema, para mejorar el manejo de sus recursos marinos vivos compartidos; la mayoría de los cuales se considera están completamente explotados o sobre-explotados. Un Análisis de Diagnóstico Transfronterizo preliminar (TDA por sus siglas en inglés) identificó tres problemas transfronterizos prioritarios que afectan el Gran Ecosistema Marino del Caribe (GEM Caribe): la explotación insostenible del recurso pesquero y otros recursos vivos, la degradación del hábitat y las modificaciones y contaminación de las comunidades. El ADT final proporcionará la base científica para el desarrollo un progarama de intervenciones, incluyendo reformas en pesquería, medidas de conservación y control de la contaminación. Un Programa de Acción Estratégica (PAE) con una visión compartida para el GEM Caribe se desarrollará y se llegará a un acuerdo en cuanto a las intervenciones, reformas e inversiones prioritarias requeridas. El proyecto propuesto facilitará el fortalecimiento de la gobernabilidad de las pesquerías en el Caribe, a nivel regional, sub-regional y nacional, trabajando a través de estructuras existentes, fortaleciendo vínculos horizontales y verticales tanto en el ámbito político como en el técnico. Para apoyar este proceso, el proyecto creará un sistema integrado de manejo de información, que compilará datos e información armonizada biológica, sociológica, de pesquerías y de contaminación como una poderosa herramienta de gestión. Igualmente, se desarrollará un marco de monitoreo y evaluación, y un Programa de Monitoreo Ambiental Regional. Proyectos piloto de pesquerías transfronterizas específicas (langosta espinosa y peces de arrecife) revisarán los modelos de gobernabilidad a nivel local, nacional y sub-regional, y proveerán conocimiento adicional en materia de la aplicación de enfoques con base en ecosistema al manejo de las pesquerías y la evaluación aspectos importantes socioeconómicos de las pesquerías.Lead Organization : UNDPDonor: GEFProject ID: 00060566Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 12/03/2020

Other Regional and Global CommitmentsRehabilitation of Heavily Contaminated Bays Demonstrations of Innovative Approaches to the Rehabilitation of Heavily Contaminated Bays in the Wider Caribbean
Brief Description:This initiative is a follow up of the Pilot Phase PRIF project “planning and Management of Heavily Contaminated Bays and Coastal Areas in the Wider Caribbean”; the project areas were Havana Bay (Cuba), Puerto Limon (Costa Rica0, Cartagena Bay (Colombia) and Kingston Harbour (Jamaica). This PRIF project resulted in the development of investment and institutional strenghtening plans and in the identification of sources of financing for the implementation of remedial actions. Leveraged baseline investments in the four bays were in excess of $250 million. As a follow-up to the PRIF and on-going baseline, the proposed GEF project will leverage national co-financing to help two of the countries to overcome a number of key barriers to the adoption of best practices that limit the contamination of their national and adjacent international waters. This would be achieved by implementing demonstration/pilot projects for reducing the input of priority transboundary contaminants, the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, to havana Bay, Kingston Harbour and the adjacent Wider Caribbean. The project will also strengthen and/or help create new institutions responsible for the rehabilitation and sustainable management of the two bays. The project supports the mandate of the Cartagena Convention (Art.7 and Art. 13) as well as the new Land-Based Sources Protocol currently in preparation. UNEP, the co-implementing agency, will be responsible for the regional coordination, and for the sharing and dissemination of nutrient pollution control strategies in the Wider Caribbean region.Lead Organization : UNDPDonor: GEFProject ID: 614Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 09/03/2020
