Protocol on Climate Change Adaptation and DRM in Fisheries & Aqu in the Caribbean

The Protocol was developed by the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) in consultation with stakeholders with interests in fisheries, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation and mitigation and technical support of the FAO. The preparation included developing and administering a survey instrument and conducting desk research to collect information for drafting of the Protocol; facilitating a one-day workshop if stakeholders where the draft Protocol was reviewed; incorporating into the Protocol the various comments and suggestions provided by the stakeholders; and producing the final draft for the consideration of the CRFM Ministerial Council. The Protocol was approved by CARICOM States during a high-level meeting of the Ministerial Council of the CRFM in October 2018.
