🌊 Strengthening Collaboration for Ocean Action in the Caribbean 🌎 Last week marked a significant milestone for the PROCARIBE+ Project with the inaugural Project Executive Group (PEG) meeting. This group is key to driving sustainable marine governance and advancing the blue economy in the region. The Institute of Marine Affairs will support efforts to develop a collaborative marine spatial plan (MSP) in the Gulf of Paria. The MSP exercise will deliver tangible results in support of Trinidad and Tobago's national "Integrated Coastal Zone Management Policy Framework" which aims to maximize sustainable use of Trinidad and Tobago's coastal and marine resources while enabling growth of its blue economy.

Building Stronger Partnerships for a Sustainable Future At our Stakeholder Engagement meeting on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, Ms. Priya Ramsumair-John, Climate Change Specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), encouraged the IMA to strengthen collaborations with other countries to increase our contributions. IDB is ready to help IMA start these partnerships and support our digital transformation. In May 2024, Trinidad and Tobago made a big move toward creating a Blue Carbon Credit Market using marine resources such as mangrove forests. The government signed an agreement with IDB to implement the project, with IMA leading the way. Want to collaborate? Join us and other stakeholders in making a real impact. Together, we can protect our oceans and build a more sustainable future.
