| The Caribbean Environment Programme (CEP) has
been active in communicating the principals and practices the protection and sustainable
development of the marine and coastal environment. One of our aims is to play a key role
in informing and exchanging ideas with students, policy-makers and the general public of
the environmental issues that face the Wider Caribbean Region. We do this through various environmental awareness
publications and activities:
 CEPNews - The official newsletter
of the CEP. This publication keeps you up-to-date on developments within CEP as well
as related events in the Wider Caribbean Region.
CEP Technical Reports -
These publications are the results of various projects and activities co-ordinated
by the CEP. While not all the reports are yet available in an on-line form, they are all
available in paper form from our office.
Public Awareness and Information on Sustainable Tourism

awareness and information networking component to encourage proactive management of
natural resources within the tourism industry. Tools were developed for education
hoteliers and other relevant parties in the tourism industry on the long-term effects of
tourism on the environment and on 'best practice' methodologies and technologies.

required to conduct training programmes in MPAs in their own countries.
