GCFI: 67th Conference at Accra Beach Resort, Barbados

The 67^th Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) Conference is being held in Barbados from November 3rd - 7th at the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa, under the auspice of the The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus - with the Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) being the local organiser.

The theme for this year is "Small islands, big issues: applying fisheries and marine science to solve problems and create opportunities". The conference is one of the largest and best-known multi-disciplinary marine science conferences in the wider Caribbean region, and will consist of a series of technical sessions throughout the week, focused on a number of thematic and programmatic areas: fisheries livelihoods, Small Island Developing States, data limited stock assessment, reefs and associated ecosystems, climate change vulnerability and adaptation, and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) science and management amongst others.

INTASAVE Caribbean (CARIBSAVE) will be participating in the poster session being held on Tuesday, November 4th between 6.00pm and 9.00pm, with the following presentations:

1. Strengthening Climate Change Resilience in Caribbean Coastal Communities: Insights from Regional Capacity-Building Initiatives


2. Understanding the Social Dimensions of Marine Protected Areas in Jamaica: Fishers' Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Fish Sanctuaries


3. Community-based Approaches to MPA Research and Monitoring

CARIBSAVE will also be participating in one of the conference's side events - a workshop titled "MPAs as a tool for responsible fisheries and sustainable livelihoods in the Caribbean", organised by FAO, WECAFC, GCFI and UWI-CERMES, in collaboration with CARIBSAVE, C-FISH, TNC and NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program

The aim of the workshop is to contribute to successful fisheries-oriented MPA management in the countries of the Caribbean region by facilitating an exchange of experiences and views among MPA managers and practitioners, fishers and fishing communities, governments representatives – including fisheries, parks and environment departments and agencies – academia and NGOs. Accordingly, the workshop will attempt to identify issues, best practices and critical processes for planning and implementing MPAs in the context of fisheries, in particular with regard to small-scale fisheries.

Sustainable Business Development and Renewable Energy TechnologiesTraining Workshop

On Tuesday, August 19th, the Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) and The CARIBSAVE Partnership hosted a joint workshop in association with two projects supported by The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP), implemented by the UNDP. The workshop was held at he Grotto, Beckles Rd. St. Michael, at the facilities of the Barbados Agricultural Society (BAS).

CPDC’s project, Promoting renewable energy production in farming communities in Barbados, has a goal of enhancing the application of renewable energy technologies (RETs) on farms in Barbados.

The CARIBSAVE Partnership’s project - Greening Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in Coastal Communities in Barbados is helping MSMEs across Barbados to implement Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in their business practices which reduce their business’ overall carbon footprint. MSMEs will also be helped to make other changes to their operations that result in saving money and increasing environmental sustainability.

The first day of the workshop focused on training farmers and agricultural processors in sustainable business practices and the technical application of RETs and energy/water saving processes. The second day entailed a field trip for participants to witness the practical application of RETs on farms in Barbados.

This workshop was of tremendous benefit to those who attended; providing an opportunity for participants to interact with experts in RETs and energy conservation practices in an environment where sharing of knowledge and experiences is encouraged, and also the chance for participants to see the benefits of these interventions in action on Barbadian farms.

Press Release: Major Study Highlights Threat to Caribbean’s Coral Reefs and Opportunity for Saving Them

Written by:

Dr Owen Day (Director of Ecosystem-based Adaptation and the C-FISH Project, CARIBSAVE) and 

Dr Ulric Trotz (Deputy Director, Caribbean Community Climate Change Center)

(Excerpt from the press release...)

A BBC news item called “From Despair to Repair:  Dramatic Decline of Caribbean Corals Can Be Reversed” published last week is a resounding call to action for anyone interested in the future of the Caribbean . The news item was based on the publication of an important report by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which found that most Caribbean coral reefs may disappear in the next 20 years, primarily due to the loss of grazers.

The report, Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012, is the most detailed and comprehensive study of its kind published to date – the result of the work of 90 experts over the course of three years.

It contains the analysis of more than 35,000 surveys conducted at 90 Caribbean locations since 1970, including studies of corals, seaweeds, grazing sea urchins and fish.  This landmark report highlights the risks faced by coral reefs from climate change, but emphasized that restoring populations of parrotfish and reducing excessive coastal pollution would halt their decline and help them recover by making them more resilient to the impacts of climate change, such as mass bleaching events caused by rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification caused by the dissolution of carbon dioxide in the ocean.

Caribbean coral reefs, spanning a total of 38 countries, generate more than US$ 3 billion annually from tourism and fisheries.  Their loss would be disastrous for the economy of Caribbean islands, which rely on tourism as their main source of revenue.  Beach erosion would accelerate, as reefs would no longer be able to protect the shoreline from storms.  The Caribbean’s famous white sand, which is constantly being produced by living coral reefs, would also eventually disappear.   The loss of reefs would also mean the loss of countless jobs in fisheries, and further threaten the region’s already vulnerable food security.

“The rate at which the Caribbean corals have been declining is truly alarming,” said Carl Gustaf Lundin, Director of IUCN’s Global Marine and Polar Programme. “But this study brings some very encouraging news: the fate of Caribbean corals is not beyond our control and there are some very concrete steps that we can take to help them recover.” The authors explain that climate change does pose a serious threat to coral reefs by making oceans more acidic and causing coral bleaching, it is the loss of parrotfish and sea urchins – the area’s two main grazers – that has, in fact, been the key reason of coral decline in the region.  Reefs protected from overfishing, as well as other threats such as excessive coastal pollution, tourism and coastal development, are more resilient to pressures from climate change, according to the authors.

Forest Area Management Capacity Building in Jamaica

The Dolphin Head Forest Area is a key biodiversity area (KBA) in Jamaica which has regional and global significance with respect to species biodiversity. This forest area is recorded to have a higher density of local endemic plant species and rare or threatened flora per unit area than anywhere else in Jamaica. The protection, conservation and sustainable management of the forest resources are therefore critically important to local and international stakeholders.

The CARIBSAVE Partnership, with funding from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, has embarked on a project entitled "Strengthening Institutional Capacity of the Local Forest Management Committee - Management Plan Implementation in the Dolphin Head Key Biodiversity Area in Jamaica". In this project, CARIBSAVE is partnering with the Dolphin Head Local Forest Management Committee (LFMC). This volunteer organisation was recognised in the 2013 Dolphin Head Forest Management Plan (DHFMP), drafted by the Forestry Department, as championing forest stewardship amongst local community members.

In order to secure the sustainability of this organisation and support the objectives of the DHFMP, the goal of this project is to strengthen the Dolphin Head LFMC's capacity to deliver critical forest management functions to the KBA. The project activities include a capacity needs assessment, training sessions and the development of a medium-term action plan to evaluate and build institutional capacity. Using the conservation priorities identified in the action plan, additional projects will be developed to continue the institution’s essential stewardship role in the Dolphin Head Forest Area. The project will be executed over a one-year period until July 2015.

The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. A fundamental goal is to ensure civil society is engaged in biodiversity conservation. More information about the Fund and associated activities can be found online at www.cepf.net.

Featured Project: Solar Nano Grids, Kenya & Bangladesh

Since the first solar home system was introduced in Bangladesh in 1996, two million more have been installed throughout the nation with the help of financing from international funding bodies. It’s a similar story in Kenya (albeit on a smaller scale), where in the past two decades about 300,000 of the systems have been connected to homes.

Many of the benefits of solar energy are abundantly clear. Households with these systems can make gains in areas like health and education by, for example, cutting down on air pollution from kerosene lamps and powering lights so children and other family members can study.
But there is no such certainty around the economic benefits – there’s scant evidence that these individual systems have the power to lift people out of poverty or have any financial advantages over other ways of generating electricity, for small-scale users beyond the reach of major power grids. The individual systems are also unaffordable for many of the world’s poorest households.

It’s possible then that clusters of about 20 families in rural communities could be better off linking up to a small-scale, communal solar power system that could also be connected to an agricultural or industrial application like an irrigation system. These “nano-grid systems” could supply enough electricity for each household’s need as well as generate an income for the community, reducing the cost of energy for each family.

INTASAVE, in partnership with Loughborough University in England and United International University in Bangladesh, aims to investigate just how viable that option is for families in Bangladesh and Kenya, particularly as climate change increasingly rules out the use of fossil fuels, like oil and gas.

With funding from Britain’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the inter-disciplinary team of social scientists and engineers is investigating the social, technical and economic merits of solar nano-grids in rural communities. The researchers will compare and contrast the grid approach with household systems in Kenya and Bangladesh and draft business models for broader use across those countries.

It’s a significant project that rests on a detailed understanding of the energy uses and needs of households and communities. Is the technology cost-efficient compared with other sources? Is there an obvious advantage for members of a community to pool their interests? Is the community organized enough to manage such a system? These are just some of the questions that the team is seeking to answer.

Kenya Vision 2030: Integrating Climate Change Adaptation

Integrating climate change adaptation measures into Kenya's Vision 2030 national development projects

In cooperation with the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) and the Vision 2030 Secretariat, The INTASAVE Partnership aims to mainstream and systematically integrate climate change adaptation measures in to national development projects, thereby promoting sustainable development in Kenya.

Specifically the project aims to:

• Foster a common acceptance and understanding of climate change and adaptation measures among key decision makers; building their capacity to identify specific interventions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the implementation of Vision  2030 development projects;


• Provide a platform for knowledge sharing on local and practical climate change adaptation initiatives within the Vision 2030 framework; and


•  Provide mentoring support to stakeholders who are integrating climate change into national development projects.

Duration: 5 Years, from January 2014 to December 2018 

Project Context & Background

Vision 2030 is Kenya’s blueprint development document. Under Vision 2030, Kenya aims to become a middle-income, rapidly industrializing country by 2030, offering all its citizens a high quality of life.  According to a 2013 progress report, climate change was cited as a major challenge in implementing development projects under Vision 2030.

Education and awareness efforts on climate change in Kenya only started two decades ago and were primarily directed towards the preparation of initial National Communications required for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with the main donor being UNEP/GEF. The participants included top-level policy makers from line ministries. According to a UNEP report, this model of targeting key decision makers is seen as commendable and they encouraged similar measures for future projects, including the involvement of the media by inviting journalists to public awareness workshops and urging them to publish feature articles in national and regional newspapers.

In an effort to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation issues, the Vision 2030 secretariat engaged an environmental advisory team to operate both at multiple levels and to contribute to sectoral policies, plans and programmes.  Our project will build on existing structures that have been established by this advisory team and work through the various Climate Change Units (CCU) within government, research and development agencies, while ensuring a close link with the National Climate Change Action Plan implementing agencies.

Greening Micro, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in Barbados

The overall goal of the Greening MSMEs project is for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across Barbados to implement low-carbon technologies and behavioural changes in their business practices which reduce their business’ overall carbon footprint and facilitate livelihood changes that are economically and environmentally sustainable.

The Government of Barbados has made recent strides towards encouraging renewable energy and energy conservation nationally, and especially within the private sector. However, large corporations are often the only private sector players that are able to adopt pro-active, environmental strategies because they have the means to do so.

This project is helping MSMEs supplant their carbon-intensive operations with more sustainable, "green" technologies and practices. Many MSME operators feel they have little choice but to use the readily available yet expensive fossil-fuel-based energy sources, because even though the cost is high, the set-up cost for alternative energy solutions is prohibitive. For these MSME operators that do not have the capacity to access such opportunities or are not fully aware of the opportunities available, this project will provide the training and financing necessary to access the locally available renewable energy and energy conservation alternatives.

Country: Barbados

Duration: January 2014 – June 2015

Funder:  GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF/SGP),implemented by the United Nations Development Programme for Barbados and the OECS

Towards Community-based Tourism in Jamaican Fish Sanctuary Areas

Under the C-FISH Initiative’s Alternative Livelihood component, CARIBSAVE is looking to introduce, enhance and support community-based tourism in sanctuary areas. In order to achieve this, the Travel Foundation, a partner in the C-FISH Fund, undertook exploratory research regarding the market/demand and feasibility of creating bespoke, mainstream excursions that support responsible tourism initiatives at 3 fish sanctuaries in Jamaica. The information gathered from this study will help guide the direction and activities which CARIBSAVE will support in order to develop the community-based tourism. This component is very important for sanctuaries to provide sustainable financing mechanisms for sanctuary management (through C-FISH Fund), income generating activities through crafts and tours, and promote awareness of Jamaica, the sanctuaries and the need for conservation of fisheries.

”Trysion Walters from BREDS: Treasure Beach Foundation takes visitors on a tour of the Galleon, St. Elizabeth Fish Sanctuary, Jamaica. These tours are one way that tourism supports the community; fishers with appropriate training can become tour guides, thereby providing them with additional income, and reducing fishing pressure in the area.

”Visitors support sanctuaries not only through tours, but through purchasing of locally made crafts. Look out for C-FISH branded products in the near future! Photo by Simone Lee”

“Tourists can also support the local economy through purchasing fruits or agro-processed products such as jams and jellies from community members. In Bluefield’s Bay, the Westmoreland Organic Farmers Group offers a number of delicious products to sample! Photo by Brenda Barry”

”Welcome to Bluefields Bay! This is one of C-FISH grantee fish sanctuaries, and one that we are looking to support through community-based tourism. Bluefields is rich in culture and natural aesthetics. Would you be interested in a tour taking you to Accomopong Maroon Village, a cultural tour of Savanna-la-mar, and a visit to Bluefields Bay – an old pirate bay now turned fish sanctuary?

“Feel like visiting a part of the Caribbean sea you probably won’t have in front of your hotel? Welcome to Galleon, St. Elizabeth fish sanctuary – one of the C-FISH grantee sites. Take a boat tour with local and knowledgeable fishermen who can show you the juvenile fish, starfish and rays in the sea grass; the wetland birds both resident and migratory living in the mangrove forests. Look out for turtles that nest on the nearby beach and dolphins that frequent the area. Would you be interested in a tour that went to here, the nearby Y.S. Falls, and an opportunity to have a Red Strip on the famous Pelican Bar on wooden stilts in the ocean? Photo by Simone Lee”

”Oracabessa Bay – one of the C-FISH grantee sites has a lot of potential for community-based tourism. Located on the north coast near other popular tourism sites, visitors can get the opportunity to experience the coral gardening, turtle watching and other conservation activities at this sanctuary. Would you be interested in a tour to Firefly – the historical home of playwright Noel Coward, with an impressive list of celebrity guests – to Oracabessa and James Bond Beach, Oracabessa Bay fish sanctuary and an arts and craft tour?

Vulnerability, Impact and Adaptation Analyses in the Caribbean (VIAAC)

Caribbean countries are particularly exposed to extreme climate-related events, which will be exacerbated by climate change.  

Individually, these countries have distinct and varying degrees of vulnerability due to their unique environmental, socio-economic and institutional challenges.  Since most of the countries currently struggle to deal with the negative effects of climate variability, developing pragmatic adaptation solutions to cope with present and future changes is an absolute imperative.

Vulnerability, impact and adaptation (VIA) analyses will therefore help countries in the region to better plan for climate change adaptation.  In this context, under the Regional Gateway for Technology Transfer and Climate Change Action in Latin America and the Caribbean (REGATTA) initiative implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the CARIBSAVE Partnership is conducting three [3] VIA analyses at the national and local scale in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Haiti.

These VIA analyses are focused on water resources, agriculture, coastal areas and the tourism sector and provide an understanding of the countries’ and watersheds’ exposure to climatic events based on current climate variability and future change, such as hurricanes and sea level rise.  The VIA analyses also have an emphasis on evaluating the key ecosystem services that contribute to livelihoods in order to provide a clear understanding of their status and sensitivity to climate changes, as well as to identify opportunities to implement ecosystem-based adaptation options as part of an overall adaptation strategy.

The main outputs from this 12-month project will be (1) National and Watershed VIA documents; (2) Policy Briefs and (3) Community Adaptation Plans (CAPs) or Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPAs). The VIA documents will create a basis for the evaluation of actual and potential threats / risks to key sectors, activities and ecosystems in the countries and watershed communities; as well as identify corrective adaptive actions.

As decision support tools, these outputs will be developed based on the findings of the respective VIAs as their basis to support decision makers in determining where scarce resources should be targeted to address ‘high vulnerability’ areas..

The results will demonstrate, amongst other things, the importance of including non-climatic determinants of vulnerability to climate change of livelihoods and communities benefiting from ecosystem services in watershed areas. They will also improve the understanding of the main approaches to climate change vulnerability assessment and to what extent their findings are useful for implementing and facilitating adaptations at both the national and local levels.

Featured Project: Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership (C-FISH)

http://youtu.be/BK941BVYBxE

In the tropical waters of the Caribbean, a team of committed CARIBSAVE scientists, island residents and businesses are working together on ecosystem-based adaptation to fortify reefs and fisheries against multiple threats.

C-FISH stands for the Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative, and helps partners in five island states to manage and sustain more than a dozen marine reserves from the onslaught of overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and climate change.

It’s a four-year project started in 2012 to give coastal communities the finance, technology and know-how they require to manage their marine sanctuaries effectively and sustainably.

It’s up and running in Jamaica and Grenada, with plans to expand to St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia and Dominica over the next three years, as opportunities arise.

The economies of Caribbean Islands rest on the health and diversity of fish life and coral reefs but these critical assets are under attack. So much so that in many places, once-abundant reef species like parrotfish and lobsters have become scarce. Marine sanctuaries are a proven way of bringing those species back - they give fish and reefs the space and time to recover and rebuild. In some cases, fish life within a protected area can increase 20 fold within a few years, replenishing both stocks inside and outside the reserve. And these bigger populations mean a greater ability to breed and a much better chance of surviving environmental shocks.

But the assault on the ecosystem is not just about the environment – it has a direct impact on the livelihoods of the many people who make a living in fisheries and tourism. Depletion has led to unemployment for local residents and in some cases a vicious cycle of poverty and crime.

Our goal, then, is to help those with the most to lose – fisherfolk, tourism operators and families – become the ones with the most to gain from each reserve’s long-term future. This means finding ways for people to make a living from the reserves being utilised sustainably as well as creating new opportunities for employment.

C-FISH exists to provide communities’ training, funding and know-how to maintain the sanctuaries and generate income from them, whether it’s through crafts and community-based tours or monitoring and patrolling the protected areas. Further, we work with big companies in the tourism industry to encourage them to contribute ideas and expertise, so that tourists can assist the coastal communities by supporting local jobs and sanctuary management. The companies can provide further support by making donations through the C-FISH Fund.

C-FISH is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development (DFID) through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC). The project is being managed by The CARIBSAVE Partnership.

[vc_row el_position="last"] [vc_column] [vc_toggle title="PROJECT SUMMARY" open="false" el_position="first last"]

The Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative (C-FISH) is a 4-year project (2012-2016) being implemented by CARIBSAVE and aimed at strengthening 15 community-based fish sanctuaries in Jamaica, St Lucia, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica by providing resources, training and alternative livelihood opportunities.

The objectives of the C-FISH are:

• To provide financial and technical support for the management of community-based fish sanctuaries.


• To implement innovative communication and fund-raising strategies that engage a wide circle of regional and international stakeholders in supporting the sustainability and resilience of Caribbean fishing communities and coastal ecosystems.


• To develop a micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) programme, that includes capacity-building, training and access to markets (e.g. for crafts and tours), as a fund-raising mechanism for fish sanctuaries and as an opportunity to promote alternative livelihoods and build mutually beneficial linkages between the tourism sector and local communities.


• To implement a collaborative research programme to develop a new tool (the “Aquacam” Research Programme) for monitoring fish populations inside fish sanctuaries.

The project will establish a partnership with large companies in the tourism sector and a new fund, the C-FISH Fund, to encourage the engagement of the tourism sector in supporting Caribbean fish sanctuaries and the sustainable livelihoods in coastal communities. C-FISH is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development (DFID) through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC). The CARIBSAVE Partnership is implementing the project on behalf of DFID and the CCCCC.
