Sobre nosotros
The Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems Project is a 6-year sustainable development project (2015-2021) funded by UNDP and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) that aims to foster the implementation of an ecosystem-based management approach in the region in order to avoid a humanitarian crisis in the long-term. Main identified problems to tackle were: pollution, destruction of the natural habitat, overfishing and climate change. Beneficiary countries of the project include 26 independent States and 19 dependent territories, with a large number of Small Island Developing States among them. CLME+ partners are UN agencies (IOC of UNESCO, UNEP CEP, FAO/WECAFC), Intergovernmental Organisations (CRFM, OSPESCA, CARICOM and OECS), Universities (CERMES and GCFI), NGO (CANARI), and numerous other global, regional and local organisations. The objective of the CLME+ Project is to facilitate Ecosystem-Based Management and the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries in the CLME+ region, in order to ensure the sustainable and climate-resilient provision of goods and services from shared living marine resources.

This peer-to-peer exchange, supported by the GEF IW:LEARN, PROCARIBE+, and the African SIDS Blue Economy Projects, aims at sharing best practices on sustainable ocean governance and financing. We are honored to be hosted by key partners, including the Ministry of Blue Economy and Marine Conservation and the Toledo Institute for Development and Environment (TIDE). A major focus of the exchange will be to visit activities happening on the ground in the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve, learning how TIDE co-manages the Marine Reserve and it's work on establishing Fishery Replenishment Zones (FRZs). Through a small grants programme led by MAR Fund, TIDE is receveing financial support from the PROCARIBE+ Project as part of its efforts to enhance coral reef protection and sustainable fisheries management in the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve. We look forward to fostering valuable cross-regional synergies for a more resilient Blue Economy across Small Island Developing States (SIDS)! 👇 La versión en español se encuentra disponible en el primer comentario. #BlueEconomy #Twinning #IWLearn #PROCARIBEplus #AfricaSIDS #Belize #MarineConservation #MARFund #SIDS #Sustainability Global Water Partnership IW:LEARN Ministry of Blue Economy and Marine Conservation Toledo Institute for Development and Environment (TIDE) Mesoamerican Reef Fund - MAR Fund African Union Commission
