Abstract
The CLME project aims to strengthen regional cooperation to reverse degradation of the shared living marine resources within the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem and adjacent regions. Its focus is on the identification and agreement of major transboundary living marine resource management issues and their root causes; actions needed to address these constraints, including filling knowledge gaps and the implementation of governance reforms for living marine resource management; and, ecosystem-wide monitoring, reporting and evaluation. This presentation will outline the approach necessary to respond to the need cited by key decision-makers for attention to the management of shared marine resources in the Caribbean LME and adjacent regions and the call to provide mechanisms facilitating informed decision-making
