Background information:
Belize, a small island developing state, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change owing to its low coastal region (below high tide mark), the rapid economic development in the coastal region and population growth. The fisheries sector and coastal zone areas of Belize play a crucial role in the national economy by bolstering food security and offering valuable tourism prospects and ecosystem services which are being threatened especially due to sea level rise, storm surge and rising sea surface temperatures. The fishing industry is a major part of the Belizean society and plays an important role in building the economy. The industry supports over 3,500 registered fishers and their family and provides a source of protein for local consumption and exportation to foreign markets. These fishers and their familiar are at risk from climate-related impacts threatening fish habitats and key commercial species such as the Spiny Lobster and Queen Conch.
Objective:
The Government of Belize, through the Ministry of Blue Economy and Disaster Risk Management (MBEDRM), seeks to development of an Institutional Skills Assessment and Capacity Development Plan for the implementation of the NAP for the Coastal Zone and Fisheries Sector of Belize.
