Ocean Governance : Index<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCERMES is engaged in a diversity of activities relating to ocean governance in the Wider Caribbean Region and beyond. Many of these activities are based on the Large Marine Ecosystem Governance Framework which was conceived as a contribution to the development of the first phase of the GEF Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME) Project (2009-2012). The LME Governance Framework has also provided a basis for other contributions to ocean governance.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tCERMES has also developed the Governance Effectiveness Assessment Framework (GEAF) that is the basis for monitoring the SAP that was prepared in the first Phase of the CLME Project and that will be implemented in the current, second, Phase. The GEAF was also used by the Governance Working Group of the GEF Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme (TWAP) (2013-2015) as a basis for comparison among the governance assessments of the five transboundary components: aquifers, lakes, rivers, LMEs and Open Ocean.<\/p>\n
