Participatory Management for the Barbados Marine Management Area (BMMA)
Marine Biodiversity will be improved in the BMMA as a result of the active participation of informed stakeholders in the zonation, management and monitoring of the area.
The project objectives are as follows:
1. To develop a zonation map for the BMMA, with input from at least the major marine stakeholders (Fishers, Divers, Swimmers, Catamaran, Jet ski and other pleasure craft operators) by month 4.
2. To establish the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC), with representation from each of the major stakeholder groups, to ensure that a participatory approach is adopted for the development and management of the BMMA by month 3 of the project
3. To establish the BMMA Fisher?s Consortium, with membership from the Fishers (minimum of 10) who operate within the Management Area by month 5 of the project.
4. To obtain baseline information on fish biomass via a participatory approach, designed to improve trust and build better relations between Fishers and BMMA operators from month 1 to 6 of the project.
