Abstract: The CLME Project includes a Regional Governance Framework (RGF) component that is aimed at analyzing the regional ocean governance situation in the Wider Caribbean Region and proposing an RGF as a basis for the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) that is a major output of the Project. The RGF component of the CLME Project combines information drawn from the pilots and case studies with information from additional governance analyses at the level of the entire WCR and also with other studies conducted outside the CLME Project to develop a multi-scale, multilevel RGF. This report describes the work done and the RGF that has been proposed for the SAP.
