Coastal and Marine Management and Education in the South Eastern Caribbean (CaMMESEC)

Coastal and Marine Management and Education in the South Eastern Caribbean (CaMMESEC) is a three year project that was developed to assist Tobago and the other countries of the South Eastern Caribbean respond to the challenges they face in managing and sustaining their coral reef environments.   This project seeks to improve the South Eastern Caribbean’s marine environment, through enhanced access to research and education facilities and expertise, and the exchange of sustainable practices for tropical islands. Project initiatives have reached out to managers, researchers and policy makers across the Wider Caribbean through the international network of ICRAN and partners to ensure that the existing expertise and available information for comprehensive management and marine resource monitoring purposes is further developed. CaMMESEC is generously funded by the United Nations Foundation.
