Abstract:
"During the period from October 1 2012 through September 30 2014, the Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) and a group of nine marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Meso-American Reef (MAR) region implemented a cooperative agreement in line with NOAA CRCPs international strategy to work with regional initiatives to develop and implement long-term MPA capacity building programs based on capacity assessments. Two regional workshops and 16 sub-projects were implemented under the cooperative agreement in order to address priority capacity building needs from the Caribbean MPA Management Capacity Assessment (Gombos et al, 2011). The activities implemented successfully increased capacity for effective implementation of MPAs in the MAR region and improved the tiered ranking of capacity in relation to socio-economic monitoring (FFO Obj. 5), the development of alternative livelihoods (FFO Obj. 2), fisheries management (FFO Obj. 2), sustainable financing (FFO Obj. 4) and outreach and education (FFO Obj. 2)."
