integrated coastal and watershed management: the caribbean sids experience
DESCRIPTION
The Challenge: Pursuit of sustainable human development in the context of: Limited and fragile natural resource base, Low rates of economic growth, Weak institutional capacity and rising public expectations, Harsh internalities and externalities – economic, social and environmental vulnerabilities. The Response: Sustainable use of watersheds and coastal areas within an integrated planning and development framework.TRANSCRIPT

Development Framework The Challenge: Pursuit of sustainable human
development in the context of: Limited and fragile natural resource base Low rates of economic growth Weak institutional capacity and rising public
expectations Harsh internalities and externalities – economic,
social and environmental vulnerabilities The Response: Sustainable use of watersheds and
coastal areas within an integrated planning and development framework

Talking the Same Language
Ridges to Reef Integrated Watershed
Management Integrated Coastal Zone
Management Ecosystem Management White Water to Blue Water Hilltops to Oceans
SIDS - Island Systems Management

Root Problems Multiplicity of policies,
laws, institutions and jurisdictions
Human Resource Deficiencies
Lack of involvement of civil society/political will
Lack of integration of environment into Development agenda

Why Integration? Some of the most diverse
and productive resources Fishing – total potential of 3
million – 4.5 million tonnes per year
Tourism Infrastructural Development Regional and Global
Demands

The Posit ives Policies: Water Resources, Solid Waste, Hazard
Mitigation, Tourism, Coastal Zone, Land Use, Housing.
Legislation: Marine Pollution, Fisheries, Solid Waste, Water Resources, Physical Planning
Strategies and Action Plans: Biodiversity, Climate Change, Desertification, POPS, NEAP, MTDS.
National: Integrate, Implement & Enforce Regional: Coordinate, Monitor & Evaluate

Messages from the Ground Tools – Realistic, Effective and Useful Data – Decision-making Enough Talk – More Action & Viable
Alternatives Focus on root causes not symptoms Effective Partnerships require:
Information; Resources; Results-based approach; Flexibility; and Common Ground
For Integrated Watershed and Coastal Zone Management to be effective we must adopt more
holist ic, integrated approaches to National Planning and Development

Making the right l inkages Pollutant Reduction
and Poverty Alleviation/Health
Non-Point Sources and Product Standards
Effluent and Service Standards (Tourism)
Environmental Management and Development Planning

UNEP/UNDP/GEF IWCAM for Caribbean SIDS
To strengthen the commitment and capacity to implement an integrated approach to the management of watersheds and coastal areas Regional management, coordination and implementation Technological and Management Solutions Institutional, policy and legal reforms Measurement and Monitoring using impact indicators Country Ownership - Demonstration Projects Networking, Sharing of Lessons, Replicability and
Sustainability

To our Partners…….. Future Interventions must be:
Aware of socio-economic and cultural realities Strategic Innovative, Flexible & Adaptive Focused on implementation Able to Build Resilience and Reduce
Vulnerabilities Part of Integrated National Development Process More Inclusive of all stakeholders Monitored and Evaluated – Relevant Indicators Use/strengthen existing national and regional
mechanisms
