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:

you up-to-date on developments within CEP as well as related events
in the Wider Caribbean Region.

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

Network (CEN) Project (1996-1999) consisted of a public 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.

exercise provides participants with the skills required to conduct
training programmes in MPAs in their own countries.
