Abstract

The Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI), the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA CRCP) are working with a group of nine MPAs in the Mesoamerican Reef Region to strengthen local management capacity to improve and maintain resilience of coral reef ecosystems and the human communities that depend upon them. This involves implementing tools and practices to more effectively observe, predict, communicate and manage climate change impacts within this biologically connected area of the Caribbean. The MPAs are working with partners, including at the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, and are actively building on existing experience related to climate change from the Pacific Ocean region.
