MSc Programme CERMES continued to offer the course-based Masters of Science (MSc) degree in natural resource and environmental management, with four specialisation streams: Coastal and Marine Resource Management; Climate Change (with assistance from the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre), Waste Management, and Applied Meteorology which was launched in 2005/2006. In September 2005, 23 students registered for the MSc programme: 9 for the Coastal and Marine Resource Management stream, 5 for the Climate Change stream, 7 for the Waste Management stream, and 2 for the Applied Meteorology stream. Regional Initiatives and Projects CERMES plays a significant role in initiatives and projects towards sustainable development in the Caribbean. Some of these for which CERMES is the leader, implementer or a substantive collaborative partner are given below. CERMES signed a Memorandum of Understanding with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Governments of St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, formalising collaboration for a Program of Work (PoW) for the Grenadines Parks in Peril Program. Additionally, a one-year contract between CERMES and TNC’s Eastern Caribbean Program was signed December 12, 2005 to develop a marine resource spatial information system (MarSIS) for marine space use management for the Grenada Bank. This will be for use in the implementation of TNC’s Grenadines Parks in Peril Program (USD $20,000). A Memorandum of Understanding with the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre was signed by Deputy Principal, Professor Leo Moseley on behalf of CERMES on September 30th, 2005. Dr. Kenrick Leslie, Director of the CCCCC signed on their behalf. The MOU formalizes an already rich collaboration between the two centres regarding climate change activities, such as projects, courses and scholarships. CERMES participated in the Sci-Tech Green Expo ‘2006’, held at the Sherbourne Conference Centre March 9-11. The purpose of the exhibition was to raise the awareness of science and technology in Barbados while simultaneously raising the environmental awareness of the Barbadian society. The Pure and Applied Sciences exhibit included posters from CERMES student projects : Tobago Cays Marine Park (Bertha Simmons) and A livelihoods analysis of water taxi operators in the Grenadines (Alexcia Cooke). The exhibit was arranged and designed mainly by CERMES staff Maria Pena, Katherine Blackman, Renata Goodridge and Dale Benskin. CERMES technical input regarding fisheries was noted by Foreign Affairs, Barbados, as having made a valuable contribution to the fair and equitable decision handed down by the Permanent Court of Arbitration regarding the maritime boundary arbitration between Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. On-going collaborative research with the Lesser Antilles Pelagic Ecosystem (LAPE) Project under an MOU with the FAO sub-regional office. Initial funding of US$6,000 was received in support of student research projects examining pelagic species diet. Invitation to participate in fully funded training and research cruise to investigate distribution and abundance patterns of pelagic forage species was accepted. The Caribbean Coastal Resources Co-Management Project (CORECOMP) (2003 - 2006) aims to promote sustainable development of fisheries and other coastal resources in the Central American and Caribbean region. Funded by the Oak Foundation (US$ 200,000). The Coastal Management Research Network (COMARE Net) (2003 - 2005), developed to guide dissemination of project results and lessons learned from recently completed Caribbean projects on improving coastal zone management and poverty alleviation. Funded by DFID/NRSP (US$33,000). The Socio-economic Monitoring for Caribbean Coastal Management (SocMon) to build capacity in the region for socio-economic data collection and monitoring and to establish and support pilot monitoring projects.

Enhancing management effectiveness at three marine protected areas in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica and Belize (MPA ME project) (2005-2007) Funded by NOAA USA (US$62,000). The Sustainable Integrated Development and Biodiversity Conservation in the Grenadine Islands (2002-2008) project focuses on the role of civil society in sustainable development in the Grenadines and the modalities of effecting change in complex systems. Funded by The Lighthouse Foundation (US$920,000). CERMES continues to collaborating in a project to strengthen water taxi operators and associations in the Grenadines Islands. The Carriacou Environmental Committee is the lead organisation in this project that is funded by the Global Environmental facility (GEF), Small-Grants Fund (US$50,000). CERMES is implementing a project to introduce the ‘People and Corals’ educational package of the Caribbean Conservation Association to 18 primary schools in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, mainly in their Grenadine Islands. Funded by the US National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) (US$19,800) and UNEP, Caribbean Environmental Programme, Jamaica (US$4,600). CERMES continued to provide technical input to Counterpart Caribbean’s ‘Caribbean Coastal Co-management and Coral Regeneration’ (4Cs ) Project with activities in Barbados, the Grenadine Islands and Jamaica (2005-2006). Workshops CERMES organised or co-organised a number of training and technical workshops across the Caribbean this year including: The Counterpart Caribbean 4Cs Negril Project Workshop, for which CERMES was the primary technical implementer on behalf of CC, ran from November 21-25, 2005 in Negril, Jamaica, to continue assisting the Negril Coral Reef Preservation Society (NCRPS) and its partners with projects on socio-economic monitoring and fisheries management planning. The Counterpart Caribbean 4Cs Project for which CERMES was the primary technical implementer on behalf of CC came to a close in January 2006, with its ‘Terminal Workshop’ at The Future Centre, January 11-12. CERMES staff involved included Patrick McConney, Renata Goodridge, Maria Pena, Hazel Oxenford, Robin Mahon, and Katherine Blackman. CERMES’ CORECOMP held its terminal meeting to evaluate aspects of the project and identify final activities. A no-cost extension to June 2006 was obtained from Oak Foundation. The project sponsored the participation of Patrick McConney, Maria Pena, Bertha Simmons (CERMES), Chris Parker (Barbados Fisheries), Robert Pomeroy (Univ of Connecticut), Jack Nightingale and Lindsay Garbutt (Belize) and Karen Joseph (Nicaragua). The CERMES regional project “Enhancing management effectiveness (ME) at three marine protected areas (MPAs) in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica and Belize” held inception workshops at the three study sites. · The “Inception Training Workshop for Enhancing the Management Effectiveness of the Tobago Cays Marine Park, St. Vincent and the Grenadines” was held in Union Island from 19-20 December, followed be an information meeting on the project and the workshop results in Kingstown on 21 December 2005.
