@ZacGoldsmith Guyana's VP, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo & ๐ฌ๐ง HC @Janemiller37 has launched ๐ฌ๐พ Maritime Economy Plan. ๐ฌ๐ง support for the development of this Plan forms part of the realisation HMGโs commitment to support SIDS to protect their marine environment & reduce poverty.
Belize is launching their Maritime Economy Plan today along with their Blue Economy Development Policy and Strategy. The launch event is live at https://t.co/q8fLAVSMlR

UK commits ยฃ36M for Sustainable Blue Economies Programme which will provide expertise and support to SIDS Governments as they build resilient ocean based economies https://t.co/Lh8Z3oBByh @UKinCaribbean @Commonwealth18
Another informative day at #UNOC22, RAdm Rhett Hatcher joined the @IHOhydro panel session discussing how hydrography and #SeabedMapping contributes to marine spatial planning for sustainable management of the marine environment and knowledge of the worldโs oceans. @seabed2030
UK commits a further ยฃ36m to help small island states protect their ocean economies. @UKinCaribbean@Number10press @Commonwealth18 @FCDOGovUK https://t.co/4TO2fXzQmC
@UKinCaribbean@NOC@CZMAI As a result of CME Programme ๐ง๐ฟ will be the 1st country in the region to report progress against #SDG 14.3. โSomething we should be proud of,โ - Professor Jair Valladarez. Read more https://t.co/GJK1IhFL3G
@UKHO has helped the CME Programme to deliver GREAT ๐ฌ๐ง support to 17 Caribbean & Pacific SIDS helping them to improve maritime trade and safety, build capacity of local surveyors and provided equipment to allow for sustainability of the work undertaken over the last 6 years.
DG @maradguyana has described the CME Prog. as Strategic & Innovative. Through @UKHO we have provided support to the Maritime Agency and we are also working with Government to develop a Maritime Economy Plan which we anticipate will be Cabinet endorsed and launched soon.
We worked closely with @CZMAIBelize on delivering the CME Programme in Belize on the scientific work and development of the country's Maritime Economy Plan which we expect to be Cabinet endorsed and launched soon. CZMAI's CEO reflects on the work of the Programme. @Commonwealth18
Our work in ๐ฏ๐ฒ saw a close working relationship with Jamaicaโs Maritime Authority. DG Peter Brady shared his thoughts on the relevance, benefits and legacy of work. Jamaica is 1 of 8 Caribbean SIDS that benefitted from the ๐ฌ๐ง CME Programme @JudithSlater_UK@UKinCaribbean
With CME Prog. work concluded we are taking a look back at how ๐ฌ๐ง has been helping SIDS identify the potential of, and developing their marine economies in a sustainable, resilient, and integrated way. Over the next weeks we will be sharing the thoughts of key stakeholders.
@UKScottFW underscored the importance of survey like these in providing invaluable scientific data in understanding the damaging effects of climate change and its usefulness in mitigation efforts to protect ocean ecosystems and the resources liveihoods are built on.@UKinCaribbean
The NOC has taken part in a survey that points to lasting impact of Hurricane Maria on marine environments in Dominica.
They discovered large #Seagrass beds where coral reefs might have been expected! ๐ชธ

@CME_Prog
Exhausted but thrilled to be hosting this @CME_Prog workshop @NOCnews this week!
Just FYI https://t.co/BA95wIDaSp
I will let you know when recordings are ready!
It's day 2 of @NOCnews workshop where stakeholders from Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines are discussing larval connectivity modelling and predictive, broad-scale, benthic habitat mapping to inform marine spatial planning.
Checking details for a @CME_Prog collaboration with the Grenadian government and found this on Govt's site. Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park (Jason de Caires Taylor). Incredible! And affecting b/c rising seas a climate threat ๐
