Purpose
The purpose of the meeting was to bring together technical experts, representative of
the three sub-regional groupings within the Wider Caribbean (Guianas-Brazil; Insular
Caribbean; Central South America) to participate in activities related to the development
of a preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis for the Caribbean LME and the
1 See Appendix 1 for detailed contact listing.
development of the CLME full-sized Project Document. Specifically, the 10-day session
was broken into 2 separate but related activities:
a)
A GEF-developed training workshop on Transboundary Diagnostic
Analysis(TDA)/Strategic Action Programme (SAP)
b)
A brain-storming Kick-Off session in which the application of the
TDA/SAP methodology was discussed within the context of the
Caribbean LME in order to assist in developing the full-sized Project
Document.
TDA/SAP Training Workshop October 23 26, 2006
As approved by the CLME Steering Committee and described in the CLME Project
Implementation Plan, a core group of technical experts, including consultants, national
and regional experts, attended the GEF TDA/SAP training session, led by GEF
specialist, Mr. Timothy Turner. The TDA/SAP training manual, available in its entirety at
www.iwlearn.net, was reviewed by the Trainer and Project Unit staff in advance of the
workshop and a decision was made to tailor the workshop to the needs of the CLME
Project. This decision is reflected in the agenda developed for the workshop, attached
as Appendix 2a.
The training programme was presented by the trainer using PowerPoint slides,
developed by GEF and provided to workshop participants in advance of the training,
along with a participant's manual specific to each module and background material
appropriate to the TDA/SAP process. Participants were also provided with a CD of the
workshop material. As presented to the participants, the focus of each module was as
follows:
Module 1 presented an introduction to the GEF TDA/SAP process and its
relevance to the
success of the GEF International Waters Programme objectives.
Module 3 provided an overview of tools to identify and priorize transboundary
issues and their socioeconomic effects.
Module 6 elaborated on the governance aspects of transboundary living marine
resources and
stakeholder involvement.
Module 5 focused on the strategic action planning process, including setting
ecological quality objectives (EcoQOs), identifying options for addressing the root
causes of the priority issues within the region and for reaching a negotiated agreement
of proposed action plans.
The TDA/SAP Training workshop was originally scheduled for 5 days, covering the
period October 23 28, 2006. However, the material for the modules was covered in 3
days, due in part to the style used by the Trainer to cover the material, which resulted in
a limited amount of additional information being provided to participants, over what was
already described in the presentations. While the content of each PowerPoint
presentation was covered, participants indicated that more time could have been used
by the trainer to elaborate on the material presented in the presentations, drawing more
2
heavily on examples based on the trainer's considerable practical knowledge of the
subject matter. Nonetheless, the TDA/SAP Training workshop exposed the technical
experts to the methodology being advanced by GEF for conducting the TDA and SAP
and allowed the time saved from the workshop to be transferred to the Kick-Off session.
During that time, participants, the trainer and Project Unit staff were able to discuss the
application of TDA/SAP methodology within the context of the Caribbean LME and
discuss procedures and information needed to develop the full-sized Project Document.
A separate report of the TDA/SAP Training Workshop is being provided by the Trainer.
CLME Kick-Off Session October 27 November 1, 2006
Following the completion of the TDA/SAP Training, participants turned their attention to
the Kick-Off Session. As reflected in the agenda (see Appendix 2b), the session was
expected to address 3 main objectives:
1. to apply the information and tools provided during the TDA/SAP training workshop
specifically within the context of the Wider Caribbean;
2. to clarify the data and information needed and available to successfully complete
CLME Project deliverables, thematic reports and full-sized Project Document, within the
allotted time frame;
3. to develop a template to solicit country-specific and region-specific information
required for the 3 sub-regional thematic reports, the 2 thematic regional reports, the
stakeholder assessment report and the incremental cost analysis report needed for the
full-sized project submission.
The entire kick-off session was extremely interactive, taking full advantage of the
breadth and depth of knowledge, expertise and experience of the participants with
respect to the governance of transboundary living marine resource issues in the context
of the Wider Caribbean. Participants were challenged to produce a number of outputs
from the session and achieved these using both plenary and break-out group
discussions. For the break-out group discussions, participants were grouped according
to their membership in each of the 3 sub-regions of the Wider Caribbean or their
knowledge with respect to regional thematic reports on Governance and Stakeholder
Assessment.
Overview and Conceptual Governance Framework for the Caribbean LME
To ensure that all participants were at the same level of understanding with respect to
the goals and objectives of the CLME Project, the Project Unit provided an overview,
highlighting the emphasis being given to the need to develop a governance framework
that would allow for the sustainable management of the shared living marine resources
of the Caribbean LME. The question of how this could be accomplished led to a
presentation and discussion of a proposed governance framework that identified 4
propositions, focusing on two well-known components of LME-level governance, namely
the policy cycle and multiple levels of jurisdiction inherent in LMEs. Participants agreed
that the proposed framework was needed to explain the current situation within the
Caribbean LME where policy cycles, leading to a suite of generally unconnected
decisions, were being undertaken by a range of stakeholders at the local, national,
3
subregional, regional and international levels. To further advance the development of
the framework, the Project Unit offered to draft a paper for review by the participants of
the session with the intention of publishing in a peer-reviewed journal. An illustration of
the proposed governance framework and its propositions are provided in Appendix 3.
Components of the Full-sized Project
Under the guidance of the GEF specialist, participants were asked to break into sub-
regional groups to discuss a number of topics relating to the various components of the
full-sized Project Document.
In particular, each of the 3 subregional groups was asked to identify areas of concern
with respect to shared LMRs within the subregion and key stakeholders at each
jurisdictional level. They were also asked to assess the current Transboundary LMR
Management Regimes in their geographic area and to suggest recommendations for
improvement within the context of the proposed Governance framework. Each sub-
group reported back to the full complement of participants on the existing governance
arrangements and gaps and questions of clarification and suggestions for improvement
were offered. The outputs of this exercise are provided in Appendix 4. It was
recommended that in identifying areas of concern for shared LMRs, considerable work
had already been done, in particular by the developers of the CLME Project and the
Global Integrated Water Assessment (GIWA) effort for the Caribbean undertaken by
UNEP. Participants agreed that these efforts should be drawn upon instead of
attempting to "reinvent the wheel". It was also strongly recommended that the CLME
Project efforts on stakeholder assessment and in determining co-financing partners
should be guided by work currently being undertaken by the White Water to Blue Water
Initiative.
The subregional groups, led by the lead consultant for each group and the regional
thematic consultants were then charged with discussing the details of their respective
reports, including the development a draft Table of Contents for each of the subregional
preliminary TDA reports and to report back to plenary. In addition, the two regional
consultants for the Fisheries Governance and the Stakeholder Assessment
consultancies were also asked to develop a draft Table of Contents for their respective
thematic reports, with assistance from participants not participating in the subregional
grouping discussions. The outputs of this exercise are provided in Appendix 5 along
with workplans for accomplishing the work from each of the consultants.
With the discussion of the regional governance framework and Table of Contents for the
draft subregional TDAs completed, the work of the participants shifted to a discussion of
the pilots to be undertaken during the implementation of full-sized project. It was
suggested that pilots should span the range of complexity inherent in the Caribbean
LME and be used to test the applicability of the governance framework to sustainably
manage shared resources of concern within the Wider Caribbean. Shared resources of
concern for potential pilots were identified to be flying fish, lobster and conch, shrimp
and groundfish, reef ecosystem and large pelagics. Each subregional group was asked
to develop a preliminary pilot, focusing on one of the identified resources, for discussion
4
and inclusion in the full-sized Project Document. Groups were advised that their
discussion on the pilot should not be limited to their subregion. Each group presented
their preliminary ideas to plenary where once again, questions of clarification and
suggestions for improvements were offered. The outputs of this exercise is provided in
Appendix 6.
Discussion on Pilot Projects
Under the guidance of the GEF specialist, considerable progress was made in
understanding the need and importance of having clearly articulated pilot proposals for
inclusion in the Project Document. Given the short timelines, it was stressed that the
pilots needed to be developed over the next two months with feedback being provided
to the GEF specialist during this time period as the drafter of the Project Document. Mr.
Turner indicated that there was a template for the pilots to follow which he will be
providing to the Project Unit .He stated that the description of these pilots should have
an approximate length of 20 pages and that the completion of these will benefit
considerably from the discussion expected at the TDA Synthesis and Causal Chain
Analysis workshop, schedule for late February. Participants were also reminded that the
pilots also required regional champions to be identified who would take ownership of the
pilots (drafting and implementing) and that co-financing and partnership arrangement
needed to in place and described.
Discussions then centered on the breakdown of expenditures for the full-sized project
and the time period for the project. Participants determined that with an expected US $9
million, (of which $0.7 million is already allocated to the PDF-B phase), the following
breakdown should be used to guide the development of the various components of the
full-sized project over a 4-year time period:
· Project Coordination - $1.3 million
· Finalization of the TDA/SAP - $1.5 million
· Pilots
o Regional Governance, including large pelagics $1.5 million
o Lobster and conch - $1.2 million
o Shrimp and Groundfish - $ 0.8 million
o Flyingfish - $0.5 million
o Reef ecosystem - $1.5 million
In addition to the resources of concern identified and/or the proposed objectives for the
pilots, participants were invited to bring forward new ideas that they thought would be
better than those already identified, providing the appropriate rationale for their
suggestions. It was also stressed that pilot projects needed to focus more on national,
local and subregional levels as well as on a specific idea. For example, the pilot
focusing on lobster and conch was seen as meeting a number of key criteria, including
transferability of lessons learned throughout and external to the region.

Partnership Strategy
Given the number of countries and territories involved in the CLME Project, the
participants discussed ways in which partners could be engaged throughout the project
and in a variety of roles, in keeping with the proposed governance framework. The
Project Unit presented a brief overview of a proposed partnership strategy which
included:
· Identification of key stakeholders, with assistance from WW2BW
· Developing an inventory of pertinent activities occurring at multiple levels within
the Caribbean LME as a first step in identifying co-funders and assessing levels of
support
· Identification of an action plan that would strategically target key partners for co-
financing.
Appendix 7 provides an identification of the diversity of stakeholders involved in CLME
governance, depending on the stage in the policy cycle and the jurisdictional level.
Development of Template to Solicit Country-Specific Information
To assist with the need to have a thorough understanding of current activities and future
plans with regards to LMRs within the region and to assist with the development of all
sub-regional and regional reports, pilots and stakeholders analysis, participants
discussed ways to best access the needed information. It was decided that a template
would be developed and sent to all participating countries requesting country specific
information. At the same time, the Project Unit would take the lead on developing a
preliminary inventory of regional activities while subregional organizations would be
contacted to advise on activities occurring and planned at that level. The participants
worked in plenary on completing the template which is attached as Appendix 8 and
undertook to follow up with the delivery of the requested information in their respective
countries. The Project Unit undertook to circulate the template to all Steering Committee
members and GEF Operational Focal Points, copied to participants of the workshop.
Other Relevant Project/Programs Presentations
Given the level of expertise and knowledge present among the participants and to
contribute to raising awareness of what activities have been/are being undertaken within
the region, brief presentions were made on a selection of relevant projects/programs.
These includes information on CARICOM/CRFM by Mr. Milton Haughton, on OSPESCA
by Mr. Sergio Martinez, on GIWA by Dr. Sherry Heileman, on WECAFC by Mr. Bisessar
Chakalall, on the Lesser Antilles Pelagic Ecosystem project by Mr. Paul Fanning, on
CCAD by Ms. Claudia Santizo and on CARSEA by Dr. Robin Mahon.

Comments and Closing Remarks
There was unanimous agreement that the technical experts assembled for the session
were a valuable asset to achieve the goal of the CLME Project and all participants
agreed to serve as the Technical Task Team for the duration of the PDF-B phase of the
project. It was also agreed in principle that the group would continue in this capacity
during the implementation of the full-sized project. The facilitators express their hope
that the participants continue as a core group and even suggest the possibility of
expanding it. It was observed that the group would be providing ground work and base
knowledge for SAP implementation.
As for the participants they observed that:
· The TDA/SAP Training workshop could have benefited from more
examples being used by the Trainer to elaborate on the concepts and
methodology being presented.
· Participants recommended that given the detailed discussions associated
with the kick-off session, it would have been helpful for them to have had
more information in advance so as to be better prepared for the
discussions.
· Participants urged that the GEF specialist and Project Unit send out
copies of the draft pilot projects to the Technical Task Team in order for
them to be better able to assist with its improvement and to identify
projects within countries that can be linked with the pilots, obtain letters of
support and solicit co-funding.
· It was also suggested that the pilot focusing on the Guinas-Brazil
subregion could be used to make the case for this subregion to be
7
identified as the separate LME that it is in terms of its distinct ecological
characteristics.
Finally, to close the session the organizers congratulated the group for the work done
over the entire 10 days, acknowledging it was a challenging work. To assist with
ongoing input, an electronic chat group was established and members shared their
SKYPE addresses as a means of maintaining verbal communication with each other. It
was also reiterated that the present group would constitute a core group for the project
not only for the PDF-B but also for the full project implementation, which will hopefully
begin in 2008.

Figure 1. The multi-scale component of the proposed governance framework with
vertical and horizontal linkages among the different policy cycles. The multi-level
linkages do not necessarily imply a controlling function.
The proposed LME governance framework comprises complete policy cycles at
multiple jurisdictional levels that are networked through both vertical and lateral
linkages. It is based on four propositions that we consider to be fundamental
properties of the framework:
$ Any interruption at any stage of the policy cycle will result in dysfunctional
governance of the target resources or ecosystems.
$ Vertical linkages between functional policy cycles are necessary for effective
transboundary LMR governance.
$ Horizontal linkages between functional policy cycles are often necessary for
effective transboundary LMR governance
$ Linkages specific to the `analysis and advice' and `decision-making' stages of
functional policy cycles are essential for effective multi-scale LMR governance

Note: Actions/activities at the local level depend heavily on sustained inputs and technical
support from the national level. Similarly, actions at the regional level depend on inputs from the
national level. Thus, the national level serves as the pivot around which the local and regional
levels revolve and could be described as the primary driver of the proposed LME governance
framework. Implementation is at all levels and depends on the degree of authority accorded to the
jurisdictional levels.

Appendix 8: Request for information from member countries and
other project partners
Brief Project Description
The overall objective of the CLME project is the sustainable management of the shared living marine
resources of the Caribbean LME and adjacent areas through an integrated management approach that
will meet the WSSD target for sustainable fisheries. The expected outputs include an analysis of the
transboundary living marine resource issues (Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis- TDA) and an
agreed preliminary Strategic Action Program (SAP) for Caribbean LME shared living marine
resources during PDF-B. The project will also fill knowledge gaps, implement sustainable legal,
policy and institutional reforms and put in place LME level monitoring, evaluation and reporting
processes for shared LMR ecosystem management.
Request for Country-Specific Information
In order to assist with the development of an integrated TDA from the entire LME and its adjacent
region, the Project Unit is requesting all CLME member countries and other project partners to
provide the information requested in the attached template.
In order to have a country-consensus position, it is recommended that the requested information be
discussed by your Inter-Ministerial/Inter-Sectoral Committee so that the views from the different
sectors and levels of participation within your country, as represented on the Committee, may be
considered prior to filling out the template. Other partners are requested to provide a response that
reflects their understanding of their constituencies.
Your assistance in providing your response to the template by December 29, 2006 is essential so that
your input can be instrumental in shaping the development of the integrated TDA and CLME Project
Concept Paper.
