Regional Governance Framework for the Wider Caribbean Region Fourth CLME Steering Committee Meeting Cartagena, Colombia, 5 -6 March, 2013 Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES), University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, St. Michael, Barbados Marine Affairs Program, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Three areas in ToRs Pilot the development of regional science-policy interface for ocean governance Assess ocean governance arrangements and functionality in the WCR with specific reference to the three fishery ecosystems Propose appropriate regional ocean governance framework options for input to the SAP

Major outputs Valuation of marine ecosystem goods and service Assessment of perspective on and needs for a regional science policy interface Governance analyses in pilot projects and case studies Assessment of regional organisations in ocean governance Proposal for a Regional Governance Framework

4 Valuation of marine ecosystem goods and services Some findings  200+ studies for 3 fisheries ecosystems in WCR  Focused on limited number of benefits, mainly o recreation opportunities in near-shore protected areas o easily measured market value real estate and capture fisheries  Mainly reefs - little on pelagic or continental shelf  Economic impacts of overfishing remain largely unexplored Proposed an approach to comprehensive valuation for WCR

Regional science policy interface Survey of decision-makers and advisors  73 interviews of 103 respondentsfrom 20 countries and 4 regional organisations Some findings  Limited experience of regional marine policy meetings  Few examples where science had influenced policy  Perception of a large gap between marine science and marine policy  Lack of access to regional level science information Some recommendations  Need focus on culture of evidence-based decision making  Draw on experience in international fora to build regional

Governance analyses in pilot projects and case studies  Governance assessment methodology adapted and refined 1. Identify the system to be governed 2. Identify the issues to be governed 3. Identify and evaluate the arrangements for each issue 4. Assess extent of integration and linkage of arrangements  Systems assessed for governance 1. North-Brazil shelf ecosystem 2. Large pelagics 3. Flyingfish 4. Central America lobster 5. Pedro Bank, Jamaica 6. Seaflower MPA, Colombia

Governance analyses in pilot projects and case studies Some findings and conclusions Completeness of arrangements 15% - 50%, average 43% >> need to focus on building and enhancing governance architecture. Integration 0% (North Brazil Shelf LME) - 100% for large pelagic fisheries >> considerable scope for improvement in the integration needed for ecosystem approach. Assessments of performance and principles >> considerable scope for interventions to improve presence of fundamental and process principles in LMR governance processes. Overall conclusion - Many weaknesses in governance arrangements that can be: a. diagnosed using these methods and b. addressed by specific interventions.

Assessment of regional organisations in ocean governance Based on:  Mandates  Actual work  Interactions More than 25 organisations  Gaps and overlaps identified and areas of weak interaction Fisheries Pollution

Proposal for a Regional Governance Framework Based on LME Governance Framework conceptual model developed in PDF-B “Increasingly, the debate turns toward what we describe as the overarching architecture of global environmental governance, that is, the entire interlocking web of widely shared principles, institutions, and practices that shape decisions by stakeholders at all levels.” Bierman and Pattberg 2012 (see notes)

Characteristics of the Regional Governance Framework  Consists of linked nested ‘governance arrangements’.  Must have a clear arrangement for each actual or potential issue.  Arrangements must have: o A complete policy process that can (1) take up data and information, (2) generate advice, (3) make decisions, (4) implement and (5) review and adapt o Capacity for (1) Policy advice and decision-making, (2) Management planning and decision-making, (3) Day-to-day action for implementation.  Arrangements must be: o Linked for the integration needed for efficiency and to achieve EBM. o Nested as appropriate to achieve subsidiarity  Similar issues may be covered by similar arrangements and overseen by a common organization for efficiency.  Entire framework will involve multiple organizations at several geographical and institutional scale levels.  Several arrangements may share a common process at the level of policy development and decision making.

REGION-WIDE OCEAN POLICY LEVEL Regional ocean governance policy mechanism (Caribbean Sea Commission, or equivalent, with membership of all relevant regional IGOs and NGOs) PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL LEVELS Fisheries Large pelagics Pollution (UNEP-LBS/OSP, MARPOL IMO) Habitat destruction (UNEP-SPAW) Reef fisheries ecosystem Lobster CA lobster ( OSPESCA ) Other lobster (CRFM/ WECAFC) Reef fisheries and biodiversity (UNEP) REGIONAL GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK FOR LIVING MARINE RESOURCES Flyingfish (CRFM) Ocean- wide Regional Continental shelf fisheries ecosystem (CRFM/FAO) Other continental shelf Pelagic fisheries ecosystem (CRFM/OESPESCA/FAO) North Brazil Shelf ecosystem

Key features of the Regional Governance Framework  Overarching regional ocean governance policy coordination mechanism for the entire framework to; o Develop regional science-policy interface for oceans governance with focus on LMR o Take up regional data and information system; o Promote ocean governance in general and EAF/EBM in particular; o Develop a regional ocean governance policy; o Promote use of valuation information in regional decision-making and policy setting  Overarching sub-arrangements for (a) fisheries, (b) marine pollution, (c) coastal/marine habitat degradation to; o Develop regional approaches and plans of action; o Institutionalize policy processes for developing these plans and tracking their implementation

Building the RGF First step is for countries and organizations of the WCR to accept and adopt the network approach to regional ocean governance.  Should be a turning point in the regional conversation about ocean governance from sectoral and organisation focused to holistic and ecosystem-based Next steps are building and strengthening activities involving engaging organisations to plan how they will proceed with:  Maintaining current roles  Expanding mandate and activities to take up appropriate functions within the framework  Developing interactions and linkages essential for framework function as an effective regional ocean governance framework
