Opportunity for regional synergetic action for the governance and sustainable use of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds

PANAMA CITY, Panama — The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) is facilitating the preparation of the SoMH and RSAP on behalf of the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) – Caribbean Environment Programme (CEP) Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) Sub-programme and the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems (CLME+) Project (2015-2020).

The SoMH and RSAP are being developed with input from regional programmes and agencies, government agencies, civil society organisations and other relevant experts through regional workshops and virtual consultations.

The SoMH provides baseline information on the status of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds as well as a snapshot of key initiatives and responses to habitat degradation and mismanagement. It uses the DPSIR (Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, Response) analytical framework to examine the marine habitats of the Wider Caribbean.

The RSAP is a ten-year mechanism for coordinated regional management of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds. The strategy and action plan will allow collaborative and complementary action by governments, regional/international agencies, civil society, private sector and academic institutions in coastal/marine natural resource management within a regional framework.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
