  • Update Report
    UPDATE REPORT DECEMBER, 2014 Mesoamerican Reef Fund www.marfund.org / [email protected] Picture by Ian Drysdale Dear Friends, We have finished one more productive year and we don’t want to let you go to your Holidays without knowing what progress we have had during the year. Please share among your network! Conservation of Marine Resources in Central America Project, Phase I The four protected areas that are part of Phase I of the Project have almost completed their third year of implementation. During this year, the most relevant advances in the areas, among many others were: the joint work that has begun between administrators, NGOs, stakeholders and coastal communities regarding management and of natural resources, community development and control and surveillance. Alternative productive activities have also started to generate income in some communities. Monitoring and environmental education programs have been consolidated. Because Phase I will end in December, 2016, in October, the areas began with the development of a Biennial Work Plan that will not only include field activities, but also closing activities in each protected area. With a biennial plan, the areas will be able to include sustainability plans towards continuity after the Project ends. The work plans are now being reviewed for approval. The mid-term evaluation of Phase I of the Project was held during the months of September, October and November. Key recommendations from this report are being taken into consideration in the biennial work plans, in order to improve and consolidate conservation actions in the areas. Technical and administrative follow up from our member funds and also our staff has been a key ingredient in the development of the field activities.
