Strengthening of Coastal Zone Management Initiatives for the 3Bays Marine Managed Area, Haiti
Project Details
| Name | Strengthening of Coastal Zone Management Initiatives for the 3Bays Marine Managed Area, Haiti |
| Description | The project targeted the 3Bays Marine Protected Area in northwestern Haiti including its eight primary coastal communities (Bord de Mer Limonade, Chabannon, Madras, Caracol, Jacquezyl, Phaeton, Ft. Liberté, and Derac). WDPA ID 555643716 The project’s main activities included: 1. Members of ANAP, FoProBiM, and local university students trained in environmental sciences, coastal and marine resources and biology, nonlethal (un-armed) environmental law enforcement engagement and laws relating to coastal and marine resources and MPAs, how to operate various types of equipment (boats, motors, snorkeling, communications equipment). 2. Local stakeholders trained in apiculture as an alternative livelihood The project has contributed to the following BIOPAMA Action Component objective(s): • Enhance the management and governance of priority protected areas by addressing existing limitations; • Support local communities’ initiatives aiming to enhance the livelihoods of local people whilst effectively contributing to protected areas management. The project has addressed the following BIOPAMA Priorities for Action: 1) Need to increase capacity (human and equipment) to monitor and manage resources within the MPA. 2) Need to provide environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative income generating opportunities for local stakeholders in order to enhance local management of the MPA. |
