ReefFix: An Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Ecosystem Services Valuation and Capacity Building Project for the Caribbean : 3rd draft progress report - period July-October 2013

Abstract

Out of 8 case studies, 5 were completed to the draft stage and are under review by the Governments involved for follow-up activities, implementation, and phase 2 requests. The OAS DSD is leading a partnership to develop case studies to assist Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean in economic valuation of coastal ecosystems, cost recovery mechanisms, and management and expansion of their protected areas network. Project partners identified the key coastal policy questions for the region, and TORs were developed accordingly based on a demand analysis led by the specific country.
