Woburn Clarkes Court Bay MPA stakeholder consultations

The Grenada Sustainable Development Trust Fund (GSDTF), in collaboration with the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund and Global Affairs Canada, is set to organize a series of stakeholder consultations from October 21 to 23, 2025. These meetings will focus on the Enhanced Management and Monitoring of the Woburn Clarkes Court Bay Marine Protected Area (WCCBMPA), a critical initiative aimed at bolstering marine conservation in Grenada. The consultations will engage local communities, business leaders, and fishermen from Woburn, St. George, fostering a collaborative approach to sustainable marine resource management. This project is part of the broader Caribbean Organisations for a Resilient Environment (CORE) initiative, which seeks to enhance climate resilience among vulnerable groups across eight Caribbean nations, including Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname. The consultations will address key issues such as enforcement, zoning, and ecological monitoring, while promoting gender-responsive and climate-resilient conservation strategies. The GSDTF encourages all stakeholders to participate in these pivotal discussions, emphasizing the importance of collective action in safeguarding Grenada’s marine biodiversity.
