IWEco Project - The potential economic impacts of Sargassum inundations in the Caribbean, Part 1 - Insights from the literature

Part 1 (this document) was supported by a research grant received from the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) through the GEF-funded project ‘Integrating Water, Land and Ecosystems Management in Caribbean Small Island Developing States’ (IWEco) in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme-Caribbean Environment Programme (UNEP-CEP).

This substantive review is intended to act as a valuable resource for the wider sargassum stakeholder community as well as to inform other aspects of the SargAdapt project including trade-offs in fisheries, tourism and coastal livelihoods of alternative mitigation and management options for sargassum influxes.
