Report on Research Pollution Priorities by GCFI for CLME+ project

The Gulf of Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) is working together with the Caribbean Large Marine ecosystem + program to identify Science-Policy Gaps in the countries sharing the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems (the “CLME+ countries”). The goal of the entire project is to address the following three strategies:

1. Expand the knowledge base required for implementation of Ecosystem Approach of Key Fisheries including flying fish, spiny lobster, shrimp, and groundfish in the CLME+ region.
2. Expand the knowledge base to support habitat protection and restoration in the CLME+ region
3. Expand the knowledge base required for the efficient and cost-effective reduction of LBS pollution in the CLME+.
