While the majority of the organi-zaons listed are registered at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor with non-profit 501(c)3 legal status, this is not a requirement to be listed in the directory.

With professional guidance from CFVI, the iniave was launched. This mul- phase project began with conducng a needs assessment. A survey was designed to gather basic contact informaon, leadership profiles, financial data, organizaon- al structure, purpose and developmental needs of non-profit organizaons. Agency leaders were then invited to aend focus groups to engage in a dialogue about both their organizaonal and professional needs. Non-profit agency leaders expressed a real need for a directory of non-profit organizaons to be made availa- ble to the profession for referrals and networking, and to the public to increase awareness of services available. This directory is a product of the iniave. As a service to donors, CFVI is available to provide comprehensive organizaonal profiles of community non-profits to effecvely guide philanthropic giving. CFVI is commied to connecng donors with idenfied community needs. In addion to their work with the non-profit community, Bart Kavanaugh and Bey Saks are commied to improving the early childhood environment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, parcularly as it impacts low wage-earning families. With assistance from Bart, Bey and other donors, CFVI created a program, The Family Connecon, with the mission of strengthening the community child care and early educaon infrastructure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Now in its ninth year, The Family Connec- on provides free access to books, toys and resources for parents, and child care professionals as well as training programs, networking and resource tools for the territory’s child care providers, early educaon professionals and the parents of young children. For more informaon about this directory or The Family Connecon, please contact the Community Foundaon of the Virgin Islands. 7 About CFVI CFVI’s Mission The Community Foundaon of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) was created to serve both donors and non-profit organizaons of the Virgin Islands that want to ensure the highest quality of life for both present and future generaons. Its primary goal is to build a growing collecon of permanent funds, the income from which will be used to enhance the educaonal, physical, social, cultural and environmental well-being of the islands’ people. The Foundaon, established in 1990, is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed of community leaders interested in the welfare of the Virgin Islands and is managed by a professional staff. Perhaps you have an area of special interest or concern? Your gi to CFVI can help meet today’s needs. And those donors choosing to create a permanently -invested fund will empower their gi to grow and meet tomorrow’s needs too, thereby becoming a legacy for the territory’s future. How to Establish a Fund at CFVI A named fund may be established by a family, individual or corporaon with a gi of $10,000 given once or over five years. The process and the paperwork are straight forward, and donors report that the results are tremendously sasfying. The donor decides the fund’s grant-making purpose and if the fund principal may be distributed. CFVI works to make your philanthropy worry- free. CFVI takes care of grant paperwork, auding, accounng and reporng. Most importantly, you will have joined hundreds of others who have ensured that their giving will benefit our community in perpetuity. The Community Foundaon of the Virgin Islands is a 501( c)3 public charity. Contribuons are deducble to the fullest extent allowed by law. 8 9 Please let us know you are out there!

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Towle, Ph.D. <etow/[email protected]> island resources FOUNDATION 6292 Estate Nazareth # 100 St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands 00802 Reissued June 2003 * [IRF Occasional Papers Series #58] * Portions of this document first appeared as Appendix B ("Background of Protected Areas in the USVI") in Rapid Socioeconomic Evaluation of the Proposed Marine Conservation District, St. John, United States Virgin Islands, a report prepared by Impact Assessment, Inc. for the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (February 1997), and in Resource Description Report, a report prepared by Island Resources Foundation and commissioned by the University of the Virgin Islands for the V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources' Virgin Islands Marine Park Project, funded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, Award No. NA07020513 (August 2002). History of Protected Area Initiatives in the u.s. Virgin Islands Historical Background For the U.S. Virgin Islands, the second half of the twentieth century was witness to a steady growth of mostly failed but increasingly more focused, occasionally collaborative and certainly professional landscape, seascape and ecosystem conservation planning and management efforts. These sprang up principally in response to the socio-economic development process that affects all small islands and their natural resource systems. As in the rest of the insular Caribbean over the same period, protected area initiatives in the U.s. Virgin Islands were triggered more by escalating, public-spirited conservation philanthropy than from any visible change in local public policy or commitment of public funds for protecting the /I commons "-whether wet or dry, natural or physical, terrestrial or marine.
