  1. Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem Project (CLME) Valuation of Marine EcosystemGoods & Services in the Caribbean: A review and frameworkforfuturework Patrick Debels Laverne Walker Regional Coordinator Senior Project Officer PatrickD@unops.org LaverneW@unops.org

  2. UNDP/GEFCLME:Sustainable Management of the Shared Living Marine Resources of the Caribbean and North BrazilShelfLarge Marine Ecosystems Foundationalcapacitybuildingproject (co-)financedby GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY (GEF4) GEF Contribution: aprox. US$ 7 million Start Date:May 2009End Date: Feb 2014

  3. CLME+ = 2 LMEs: the CARIBBEAN LME and the NORTH BRAZIL SHELF LME 26 countries + >10 dependent territories

  4. CLME+ : 3 distinct ecosystem types support the most important fisheries & biodiversity • REEFS & associatedhabitats • PELAGIC ecosystem • CONTINENTAL SHELF ecosystem

  5. CLME TDAs:3 ecosystems, 3+1* (key) problems Degradation * “Climate proofing” of actions: robustness + contributions to enhancing resilience

  6. ROOT CAUSES OF THE 3 CLME+ ISSUES

  7. DECISION MAKING ANALYSIS AND ADVICE: DSS REVIEW AND EVALUATION & MONITORING IMPLEMENT-ATION sLMRgovernance: “running” through the PolicyCycle DATA & INFORMATION

  9. BASIS FOR THIS PRESENTATION: • Schumann, P. 2011. Wilmington, NC: University of North Carolina Wilmington (CERMES reportfor CLME RGF case study) • “The Valuation of Marine EcosystemGoods and Services in the Caribbean” • Kushner, B., R. Waite, M. Jungwiwattanaporn, and L. Burke, 2012 (WorkingPaper. Washington DC: WorldResource Institute) • “Influence of CoastalEconomicValuations in the Caribbean: EnablingConditions and LessonsLearnt”

  10. Status of Marine Valuations in the CLME: Coral ReefEcosystem • Ecosystemwith the mostinformation • Reefs in the Caribbean: 19,000 km2 • Net presentvalue: US$ 49.5 billion • Total Annual Net Benefits: US$ 1.85 billion • Fisheries: US$ 391 million • CoastalProtection: US$ 720 million • Tourism/recreation: US$ 663 million • Biodiversityvalue: US$ 79 million

  11. Status of Marine Valuations in the CLME: PelagicEcosystem • Limitedvaluationstudiesavailable • Existingvaluations: focusonprovisioningservices • commercialfisheries • Exceptions: analyses of cultural services (tourism & recreation) - sportsfishing & whalewatching: • billfishing - Puerto Rico: US$ 44 million • whalewatching - Dominican Rep. (1999): US$ 5.2 M • sharkdiving - Bahamas (2007): US$ 78 million

  12. Status of Marine Valuations in the CLME: Continental Shelf Ecosystem • Received the leastattention • Limitedinformationavailable • A fewstudiesexist • commercialshelffisheries (e.g.shrimp)

  13. Analysis of Economic Valuations Studies within the CLME • Economicvaluationsstudieshavebeenlimitedto: • nearshorerecreationopportunities (protectedareas) • Reefvaluations: far more attentionthanotherecosystemtypes • reefs in MPAsreceived particular attention (recreation & tourism) • Caribbeansmall-scalefishers: highlydependentonreefsforlivelihoods • Pelagic & Continental Shelf ES: valuationwork = modestcomparedto the near shore zones • marketvalues of capture fisheries, offshore recreationalopportunities

  14. Summary • Economicvaluationinformationavailableon the Caribbean has increasedover the last 30yrs • Over 200 economicstudieson monetaryvalue of marine ecosystemsexist (MESP) Yet, the impactof thesestudies onpolicyordecisionmakingregardingecosystem/marine resourcesmanagement are notveryclear

  15. Analysis of impacts of Economic Valuations Studies in the CLME • Valuationstudiesincreasedawarenessabouteconomicimportance of marine ecosystems • Veryfewvaluationstudieswhichhavedirectlyinfluencedpolicy, legislationorinvestment • St. Maarten studyhelpedestablishingfirstnationalpark • Belize’s : legal banonbottomtrawling • Bonairestudy > visitorfeesetting: sustainablyfinanced MPA • Valuationtoguide decisionmaking: tobe done on a scaleappropriateto the policyquestion • WRI’sCoastal Capital series: mostimpactonraisingawarenessof the economicvaluesassociatedwithcoastal and marine resources

  16. Goodgovernance & hightransparency Strong local partnership& stakeholderengagement KEY ELEMENTS for SUCCESFUL ECONOMIC VALUATION application and influence A clearpolicyquestion Opportunitiesforrevenueraising Local demandforvaluation Effectivecommunications& accesstodecisionmakers and/or media A clearpresentation of methods, assumptions& limitation

Gaps within the CLME • Economicvaluesassociatedwith the pelagicand continental shelfecosystemsremainlargelyunspecified • Valuationworkcontinuestobeabsentfrom a number of countries(e.g. Central America) • Contribution of reefs & othercoastalecosystemstofisheriesproduction, climateregulationand habitatprovisionlargelyundocumented

  21. Gaps within the CLME • Economicimpactsrelatedtooverfishinglargelyunexplored: • Nationaleconomies? • Employment? • Foodsecurity? • Tourism? • Valuing the cultural and foodsecuritybenefitsof small-scalefisheries • Valuing the researchand educationcontributions of marine ecosystems

  22.
