1 THE REALITY OF OCEAN ACIDIFICATION IN THE CARIBBEAN Rachel Allen Centre for Marine Science, Jamaica
2 AS A RESULT: Numerous scientific articles on OA Introduction of Acidification as a issue negotiated at the UNFCCC Loss and Damage sessions. But still somewhat of a void where SIDS are concerned
3 BACKGROUND: CARIBBEAN Wider Northern Eastern (OECS) Continental (central & south) English Speaking Most biologically rich area in the Atlantic, retaining 10% of the world s coral reefs and 12,000 marine species. (1)
4 CARIBBEAN
5 QUICK FACTS: Governments: 13 sovereign states; 2 overseas departments and 14 dependent territories, (tied to the United kingdom, France, Netherlands and USA) Governance becomes an important issue when seeking a cohesive approach to deal with OA.
6 CARIBBEAN SEA Each Island state has an Economic Exclusive Zone of 200 n miles a semi-enclosed body of water consisting of several deep basins separated by major sills The deepest point, 7,100m is the Cayman Trench average depth is approximately 2,200 m
7 HIGH PRODUCTIVITY IN COASTAL AREAS ALLOW FOR KEY INDUSTRIES Caribbean Coral reefs provide services which are linked to economic sectors, specifically Tourism and Fisheries. Fisheries: US$310 million (2) Tourism: Overall: 25% of Regions GDP (3) Dive Tourism: US$2.1billion (2000) (4)
8 OA AND THE CARIBBEAN OA impacts are cross cutting Any effort at management must be mainstreamed within the economic sectors it will impact. OA has potential to derail a number of response efforts that (especially the OECS has taken), which are central to their efforts for sustainable ocean governance. Must be placed within the context of cohesive scientific monitoring/research and sustainable ocean governance.
9 WITHIN JAMAICA: Health of reefs is Critical as Reef-related fisheries support between 15,00-20,000 fishermen, and contribute directly and indirectly to the livelihoods of at least 100,000 Jamaicans (nearly 5% of the population) island-wide. Reefs indirectly contribute: Fisheries: 5.6% Tourism:5.8%
10 CASE STUDY: PEDRO BANK, JAMAICA Pedro Bank is an expansive submerged bank located about 80 km southwest of Jamaica ( Zans 1958; Kramer 2006)
11 PEDRO CAYS ~8 hectares 15 hectares North East Cay 3.7m 4 hectares Bird Cay Middle Cay- 2m
12 WHY IS PEDRO BANK IMPORTANT?... CONCH! Conch: Largest conch ground in region Largest exporter in Caribbean (EU, USA) Nearly 1% of National GDP Strictly and effectively managed resource Conch Divers (>700) >50% of years income in the 6 weeks conch season. Provision for secondary and tertiary livelihoods.
13 CONCH EXTRACTION
14 CULTURAL IMPORTANCE
15 + LIVELIHOODS OF PEDRO FISHERS (ALLEN AND WEBBER, 2013) PARISH St. Elizabeth Manchester Farmer Farmer Additional Livelihoods 1 2 Make Pots Mechanic Westmoreland Farmer(Cane) Cane Cutter St. James Buy and Sell Farm St. Catherine Shop Keeper Mechanic Clarendon Shop Keeper/bar Farm KSA Buy and sell Mechanic St. Thomas Farmer Portland Farmer Painter St. Mary St. Ann Farmer
16 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS 1. Micro-Economic: Significant implications for livelihoods and ability to initiate and sustain secondary and tertiary livelihoods. 2. Macro-Economic: Significant implications for livelihoods for GDP and GOJ especially when attempting to meet IMF goals /deadlines. Limited adaptations capacity for conch fishers
17 IN THE ABSENCE OF OA SCIENCE: FISHER PERCEPTIONS Older Fishers have taken note of the changes in size and brittleness of conch shells. Need for validation in lab. Limitations No funding for experimental design No OA data
18 WHAT DO WE KNOW. The Caribbean is diverse with much more EEZ s than land. Significant social and economic dependence on healthy marine ecosystem. The Caribbean is behind on a cohesive and strategic OA monitoring programme. Conch industry is vulnerable to Ocean Acidification.
19 WHAT CAN BE DONE.
20 MAINSTREAMING OA IN THE CARIBBEAN UTILIZE EXISTING RESOURCES AND STRUCTURES: 1) Science/Research: Centre for Marine Sciences (CMS), University of the West Indies (UWI) 2) Governance: Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Build awareness and capacity through use of creative Networking, building partnerships, South-South co-operation.
21 EXISTING SCIENCE/RESEARCH STRUCTURE UWI/ Centre for Marine Science (CMS) Existing Infrastructure DBML/PRML CMS Existing, Regional Repository for Coral Reef Data
22 EXISTING GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE Organization of the Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Nine (9) Member states OECS has over 404,000 sq km of ocean space Through ECROP, all member states work together on a clear marine governance strategy OECS currently planning a Regional Consultation Conduct National Education and Public Awareness within each member state
23 WE RECOGNIZE THAT With proper use of existing structures both for research and governance, OA can be better understood, prepared for and managed. Pedro Bank is a critical area that is susceptible to OA and will have far reaching social and economic impacts. Communication is KEY Networking in NECESSARY Funding is REQUIRED Existing and new resources can be used STRATEGICALLY
