dbo:abstract
  • Protected areas of the Caribbean are significant in a region of particular ecological vulnerability, including the impact of climate change and the impact of tourism. The University of the West Indies' "Caribbean Protected Areas Gateway" supports informational resources for the 16 Caribbean member states of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. It forms the regional component of the ACP's program, building on the World Database on Protected Areas. The United Nations Environment Programme supports the Greater Caribbean through its Regional Seas initiative, but studies have pointed to the shortage of marine protected areas and marine reserves in the region as particularly detrimental to shark conservation, an issue also addressed globally though the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation of Migratory Sharks. Comparative county-by-county studies on MPA enforcement have also been made by the Environmental Law Institute. (en)
