The exercise was supervised by Dr. José Sericano of the University of Texas A & M in the United States of America. GEF REPCar Project Manager, Mr. Alex Cooman visited Nicaragua from 1-7 March, 2011 to follow up on the progress of the demonstration projects, coastal monitoring projects and training and awareness raising activities. Work plans for the upcoming months were also reviewed. This mission facilitated the endorsement of new GEF PIF and provided support for the ratification of the LBS Protocol For more information on the recent activities of GEF REPCar, please see the project s website and bulletin at: Environmental Monitoring &Assessment The multi-thematic ARGOS support system: an online interactive database for GEF REPCar s coastal monitoring programme Final comments have been in-cooperated for the update of Technical Report No. 33 (TR33). This Report was adopted at the 14 th IGM. The final version is now available and will be published as a new CEP Technical Report. The Secretariat established an Interim Working Group in accordance with Decision XI of the 14 th IGM for work related to the updated TR 33 report. Based on country nominations, the working group consists of representatives from Jamaica (chair), Bahamas, Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, Barbados, USA, Trinidad and Tobago and France. This group will continue work related to monitoring and assessment that could use Technical Report No. 33 as a baseline document with the goal to improve effluent reporting and assessment of water quality conditions throughout the Convention Area. This will provide input to the first meeting of the Contracting Parties to the LBS Protocol in RAC Cimab is in the process of finalizing fact sheets with information from the updated TR33, Regional Wastewater Baseline Analysis and the Know-Why Network (KWN) Partnership Projects. Other fact sheets are also being updated with a view of having current information on the state of the marine environment of the Wider Caribbean Region available on the CEP website. Wastewater Management Page 6 The Sewage Needs Assessment project in Belize is ongoing. Monthly water assessments are currently being undertaken for ground water and surrounding coastal waters. An assessment tool is being developed in order to undertake a survey to investigate waste management practices
7 Nutrients inflow (Total Nitrogen -blue and Total Phosphorous -green) of domestic origin by sub-region in WCR (t.yr -1 ) (from Technical Report # 33) for the collection and disposal of sewage. The project is investigating the wastewater management practices and ground water use in Caye Caulker while conducting ground and coastal water quality assessment in support of the development of a Sewage Needs Management Plan. The results of a UN backed study published in the Journal of Environmental Pollution was noted in a Los Angeles Times Article entitled Mexican clean-up urged to help Caribbean Tourism by Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent. The study said that pollutants ranging from pesticides to illicit drugs were found in fresh water aquifers beneath a Caribbean resort in Mexico and could damage future tourism unless the region cleans up. Samples taken from a labyrinth of water-filled caves beneath the Riviera Maya south of the city of Cancun showed contamination mainly from sewage, as well as from highways and golf courses. The study stated It is essential to develop and maintain adequate wastewater treatment infrastructure. Other recommendations were to preserve remaining mangroves to protect the coasts. Fifth International Marine Debris Conference RAC REMPEITC attended a meeting with representatives from the Government of the Bahamas, a lead partnering country for the GEF UNDP GloBallast project. REMPEITC assisted with the development of a national strategy during discussions held from March, 2011 in Nassau. RAC REMPEITC also attended a meeting in Aruba from March, 2011 for all the Dutch Islands in the region regarding the Ballast Water Convention. Waste Management The abstracts, Mainstreaming Marine Litter Management in Caribbean SIDS through Government and Civil Society Partnerships and Protecting the Caribbean Sea from Marine-Based Pollution: Lessons from the MARPOL Annex V Special Area Designation submitted by the AMEP secretariat, were accepted for presentation at the International Marine Debris Conference held in March Mr. Christopher Corbin, participated and made several presentations at the International Marine Debris Conference held in Hawaii from March, For more information on this conference please visit the link below. Page 7 =664&ArticleID=8671&l=en&t=long Finalization of new activities to support the implementation of the Caribbean Regional Action Plan for Marine Litter will take place after the Marine Debris Conference. These activities are expected to focus on the development of targeted educational, promotional and awareness material for children, decision makers and the general public.
8 National Programmes of Action (NPA) NPA pilot project for Suriname is ongoing. The project aims to mitigate pollution in the waterways of the Sipaliwini District through the introduction of eco-sanitation toilets. Awareness raising activities on the project and on the use and advantages of eco-toilets were held in seven villages. The project is expected to help in Suriname s efforts to accede to the Cartagena Convention and its Protocols. The MOU between UNEP GPA and NOAA was finalized in February, 2011 and will form the framework for continued cooperation between the Secretariat and NOAA in NPA development and implementation. The four priority countries where technical and financial support will be provided will be Suriname, Saint Lucia, Belize and Dominican Republic. The compilation of Caribbean Case Studies of successful Mainstreaming of National Programmes of Action was completed by AMEP consultant Mr. Trevor Ramikie. This was done in cooperation with the Coordination office for the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land Based Activities (GPA) and the Caribbean Environment Programme. This activity attempted to collect success stories in the field of mainstreaming marine and coastal issues into national and/or local development policies, plans and planning processes. Oil Spills Response Planning Urine Diversion Toilets - Suriname NPA pilot project Page 8 RAC REMPEITC participated in a Senior Maritime Administrators Workshop from 8-9 February, 2001 in Trinidad and Tobago. The workshop was sponsored by the IMO and provided the opportunity for maritime administrations of Caribbean Islands to be informed on the developments at IMO. It also allowed maritime administrations to share their experiences and identify areas for future assistance on specific maritime issues, including ballast water management, oil spill response planning, and the management of waste from ships. RAC REMPEITC participated in a Workshop held by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environmental affairs in Curacao on 4 March, The purpose of this workshop was to assess the risks associated with various incidents or disasters and how to best mitigate these risks.
