Abstract
Strombus Gigas Alliance, a non profit organisation based in Belize, has been working with local communities in differ-ent parts of the Caribbean to better utilise new and old conch in a sustainable and commercially viable manner. This presen-tation will review the opportunities, challenges and successes that SGA and its associates have faced to create increased income and employment from a product where 85% of the material is thrown away or underutilised
