Abstract:
"Increase enforcement capacity and effectiveness at Grenadas three coral reef protected areas. Enforcement training and creation of enforcement program will be coordinated with management goals. This project brought tailored training and support to build capacity for effective marine protected area (MPA) enforcement to Grenada. A practical, hands-on training course was attended by staff and stakeholder representatives of Grenadas three MPAs and Grenadas national MPA coordinator, plus selected regional invitees. Facilitated by an MPA enforcement expert with specialist instruction also provided by the Royal Grenada Police Force, Coast Guard and local emergency services, the involvement of these organizations in the project successfully built and strengthened key MPA enforcement partnerships. Complementing the training in law enforcement, the project also enabled important strides to be made in building local compliance with MPA regulations through new communications activities and a pilot schools education program. The project also provided some critical pieces of equipment and uniforms for our MPA Wardens which helped in the overall effectiveness in managing our MPA's."
