Description

This document sets out recommendations for proposed changes to the current Cabinet endorsed National Ocean Policy (NOP) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) (2018). These recommendations have arisen from a review of NOP undertaken as part Output 3 of sub-component (Developing Ocean Policies and Strategies) of the Caribbean Regional Oceanscape Project (CROP).

A fully revised NOP was drafted for SVG and is included in Annex 1. This document is draft for national consultation only, and the recommendations within this report refer to certain sections of it for ease although it has not been suggested that the NOGC adopt it in its entirety at this stage.
