Abstract
|
The islands of the eastern Caribbean vary widely in their legislative and administrative frameworks, and in their approaches to reef management and protection. However, many of them are faced with a common set of threats and impacts: sedimentation of inshore water from development of coastal areas; overfishing due to increasing demand from local populations; and tourism. Some islands have established effective management institutions and monitoring programmes that are either well supported or are capable of generating their own revenues, while in others management is hampered by inadequate legislation or lack of enforcement of existing legislation, and insufficient human and financial resources. In recent years, the promotion of initiatives such as GCRMN, and the availability of training and technical assistance has allowed a number of countries with limited resources to begin implementing monitoring activities, based on the selection of methods suited to their current capacity, such as the Reef Check protocol. In a region where many islands are faced with the task of balancing the needs of coastal communities, the expansion of water-based tourism, and the maintenance of a limited resource base, participatory approaches to planning and management appear to offer an effective alternative to traditional centralised management.
