CARICOM says it is making significant strides towards enhancing ocean governance and sustainable management of marine resources.
The 15-member regional grouping says, with the support of a £190,000 Pound grant from the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the Caricom Secretariat is embarking on a comprehensive initiative to develop a robust framework for sustainable ocean management.
Caricom says the primary objective of the project is to articulate a policy that fosters improved governance, regional coordination and ultimately, enhanced capacity of member states to sustainably manage both sovereign and shared marine resources.
The policy will build on international momentum for sustainable ocean economic development, including the Antigua & Barbuda Agenda for Small island Developing States, Sustainable Development Goals, and the Commonwealth Blue Charter.
