Eastern Caribbean Regional Ocean Policy

The Eastern Caribbean Regional Ocean Policy (ECROP), developed by the OECS Commission, updates the 2013 framework for the sustainable development, management, and conservation of the Eastern Caribbean marine environment. Recognising the ocean's economic potential, the policy promotes a Blue Economy to enhance livelihoods, jobs, and ocean health through sustainable resource use. It commits OECS Member States to coordinated, sustainable ocean management and supports regional collaboration and harmonization of actions. The ECROP includes a vision, principles, policy outcomes, and goals, complemented by National Ocean Policies. The eight policy outcomes focus on securing marine resource access, monitoring human activity, maintaining ecosystem integrity, promoting sustainable development, adopting integrated coastal management, increasing ocean stewardship, strengthening climate resilience, and ensuring informed decision-making.
