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.

Abstract: This report, following a brief review of literature on the topic, describes the process and product of an interview investigation of the science-policy interface in the WCR conducted as part of the Regional Governance Framework (RGF) consultancy with the CLME project. The report contributes to developing the RGF and formulating a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) as the next major stage of the CLME project. The target audiences are all CLME participants and interested parties. Findings should be of particular interest to those dealing with the Information Management System and Regional Environmental Monitoring Programme. Twenty countries and four regional organisations were surveyed, resulting in 103 respondents from 73 interviews across the organizations and government ministries concerned with environment, fisheries, foreign affairs and tourism that were targeted.

Abstract: Detailed assessment of governance architecture for the shared stocks of the Central American lobster fisheries. Its purpose is to dissect and display the suite of governance arrangements for the six major issues identified for the Central American lobster fisheries in the Caribbean, in order to facilitate discussion among stakeholders. This discussion can lead to shared perceptions of what should be in place, what principles should be prominent and how the system should be structured. The assessment is not intended to lead to a prescriptive output regarding what should be in place. Nonetheless, some broad observations can be made on aspects of the system that need attention if arrangements are to be structured in a way that is likely to lead to effective governance, including the promotion of inter-sectoral and inter-issue integration that is needed for an ecosystem approach.
