Fill the gaps in oil, chemical spill, and dredging related ecological and social sensitivity/vulnerability mapping and diagnosis (incorporated into a GIS), including the sensitivity to the use of dispersing chemicals for oil spill clean-up in the entrances of ports, along major navigational routes and in adjacent vulnerable coastal areas (including scientific studies to assess the temporal and spatial patterns in the reproduction and recruitment of sensitive marine organisms), building on existing data.
Conduct a review of the national and regional legal and institutional frameworks addressing environmental management of the maritime transport industry.
Complete an analysis of the socio-economic conditions of the Gulf of Honduras region that would affect efforts to improve environmental management of the maritime transport industry.
