Date: October 16, 2024

This project will greatly increase the capacity of the Caribbean Coastal Area Management Foundation (C-CAM) and its partners to implement effective management of the Portland Bight Protected Area (PBPA), which supports 14 CEPF trigger species including 6 CR and 2 EN species.

It was developed through consultations with stakeholders, including discussions at the last multi-agency Operations Planning meeting in October 2021, as well as one-on-one discussions with NEPA, National Fisheries Authority, and Forestry Department in 2021 and 2022, a review of the 2018 METT assessment, and Vulnerability Risk Assessment (VRA) workshops. Letters of endorsement have been received from National Environment and Planning (NEPA) and Forestry Department and the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) and have been uploaded in ConservationGrants. The conceptual diagram for the project has also been uploaded.
