Our work in the UKOTs
Our work in the Caribbean originally began with four years of working with local fishers and wider communities to help support and better manage turtle fisheries.
Now our key focus is to support our Caribbean UKOT partners in significantly improving management of their existing marine protected area (MPA) networks.
Our Caribbean UKOT MPA programme started in 2019, and our work is highlighting the urgent actions that need to be taken to significantly improve marine protected area management across the territories.
We connect the Caribbean UKOTs to UK-based experts and we work hard to emphasise to ministers in Westminster the need to support the management of MPAs in our Caribbean Territories.
