PROCARIBE+ recognizes that local communities and civil society organizations are at the heart of effective and inclusive ocean conservation. Their deep-rooted knowledge, lived experiences, and proximity to coastal ecosystems make them essential partners in building resilient, sustainable, and equitable blue economies.
By empowering these actors, PROCARIBE+ fosters social inclusion, community ownership, and locally driven action—ensuring that solutions are not only environmentally sound but also socially just and economically viable. This approach strengthens the link between policy frameworks and on-the-ground implementation, bridging the gap between regional strategies and local realities.
PROCARIBE+ is committed to amplifying the role of civil society organizations and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in driving ocean conservation and sustainable development across the Caribbean. Through targeted support and innovative financing, we are unlocking the potential of grassroots actors to lead transformative change in coastal communities.
