Abstract:
The management of the St. Croix East End Reserves (STEER) over the last two years has been a coordinated, informal co-management effort on the part of the community, Friends of Christmas Cove, Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR), University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Given the absence of a designated manager and staff, the successes below are attributable to the staff, management, funding and expertise of these organizations, combined with both fiscal support and expertise from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While the niches filled by the partners (DPNR - funding, planning and management, UVI - planning and research, TNC - planning, coordination, research and outreach) have resulted in a limited but successful model thus far, continued management of STEER is dependent on available staff and funding. Below is a list of impactful STEER activities and accomplishments from 2013 through 2015"--Page 1.
