Caribbean Regional Ocean Partnership

  

 

CROP Goals and Objectives:

The Caribbean Regional Ocean Partnership (CROP) was created in May 2012 through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Governors of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. The CROP aims to establish mechanisms that will improve regional collaboration on ocean management in order to reduce user conflicts, improve cohesive regional planning, and support healthy communities and ecosystems for present and future generations. A framework for an ecosystem-based management approach will address cumulative effects from anthropogenic activities to ensure the protection, integrity, maintenance, resilience, and restoration of ocean and Coastal Caribbean ecosystems, while promoting multiple uses.

 

Main Objectives:

1. Facilitate the establishment and implementation of the Caribbean Regional Ocean Partnership.
2. Foster effective communication and collaboration between coastal and marine resource users.
3. Identify sustainable funding options for CMSP and a Caribbean Regional Ocean Partnership.
4. Improve collaboration between regional CMSP data managers.
