Abstract:
The goals of this project included increasing capacity for timely and targeted social and ecological monitoring and building stewardship in local communities. The project focus areas were Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Managers from these countries took part in a capacity building program onresilience-based coral reef monitoring and management in Australia in June of 2015. The project team then supported managers from these countries in developing monitoring plans and establishing and maintaining stewardship programs. The major project output is a Reef Managers Guide to Fostering Community Stewardship; the first in what will be a series of these guides, which are professionally designed downloadable PDF documents. The Guide will be jointly released by NFWF in collaboration with IUCN, GBRMPA, NOAA CRCP, and TNC and have global impact with respect to helping reef managers establish stewardship programs.
