Bio-diversity

This project is concern with the long-term protection of coral reefs at selected sites in Barbados through the involvement of youth groups in monitoring and management. In addition the project is expected to have a public awareness and education component emphasising the benefits of proper management and will develop a sense of ownership of this valuable resource to coastal communities among locals. The purpose of this planning phase is as follows: (a) Facilitate consultations with key groups within potential coastal sites; (b) Identification of selected sites which will be involved in the project; (c) Identification of key groups (schools, community organizations, NGOs, governmental agencies) to be involved; (d) Identify main objectives, outputs and activities; and (e) Provide technical assistance to allow for the compilation of relevant information and preparation of the project proposal.
