Abstract The paper presents the blue economy development in Bahamas with an analysis of conditions for using bonds as a financing mechanism. As part activities to be pursued issuance bond, provides identification investment projects that could financed through bonds. In addition its activities, government seeks enhance coastal ecosystems’ resilience and their capacity reduce effects strong climatic events following Dorian Hurricane September 2019. this context, investments protection...
Blue carbon has been proposed as a nature-based solution for climate change mitigation; however, limited number of published works and data knowledge gaps hinder the development small island developing states’ (SIDS) national blue resources globally. This paper reviews ecosystems Seychelles case study in context SIDS, comparing estimations by Carbon Lab recent (mangrove seagrass) evaluations submitted to government. Mangroves (2195 ha, 80% Aldabra Atoll) seagrasses (142,065 ha) dominate...
This study reviews various financing solutions available for fisheries and aquaculture development in Caribbean small island developing states (SIDS) Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent the Grenadines. Previously identified needs within sectors have been matched with most suitable mechanisms. However, use of blue levies is recommended applicable almost every scenario, as they allow these to drive their own research conservation projects benefit. The “blue tokens” sufficiently low repayment...
<p>St. Martin's Island was declared an ecologically critical area of Bangladesh in 1999, but this has had limited effect on the conservation island's natural coral resources, which a thriving tourism industry and local inhabitants depend. The introduction entrance fee can benefit management island, research amount that tourists are willing to pay is absent. objective paper determine appropriate would be (WTP) for visiting St. using contingent valuation method questionnaire surveys...
Oceanic tuna fisheries are a major contributor to the economic health of Pacific Island countries (PICs), with coastal underpinning livelihoods locals, providing food security, significant employment, culture, and human welfare. Livelihood development across various PICs is hindered by inability harness maximum potential fishery resources, particularly through lack identifying targeted needs. Development value chains facilitates resilience reducing local reliance on associated vulnerability...
Modern aquaculture technologies can contribute to both climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies while simultaneously contributing toward food security. Various have been reviewed elsewhere but omit a few key worthy of inclusion. This paper reviews various regenerative that stimulate habitat creation, biodiversity capture fisheriesstimulation, increasing resilience effects. The discussed include integrated multi-trophic (IMTA) aquaponics, recirculation systems for the control...
