Community-based Coral Reef Monitoring and Management Project

Welcome

Welcome to the Caribbean Conservation Association's (CCA) Community-based Coral Reef Monitoring and Management Project webpage. This project is being implemented in collaboration with the National Conservation Commission at the Folkestone Marine Reserve on the west coast of Barbados. This project is being financed jointly by the CCA and GEF UNDP Small Grants Programme.

The project seeks to build capacity at the community level to support identification and analysis of the problems facing coral reefs within the reserve and the development and implementation of community-level strategies to combat the existing impacts. This is hoped to be achieved by:

• The establishment of a local network of stakeholders for collaboration and information exchange; and

• Providing the necessary training to community groups in coral reef education and awareness; management planning; and and long-term financing and sustainability.
