Notas do Editor

  1. APPENDIX 2B – A SAMPLE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ON, “INTRODUCING COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS” These slides are available on the Compact Disc that is included in the Training Pack called, “Strengthening Environmental Stewardship Among Major Stakeholders in the Grenadine Islands”. You may use this presentation as a basis for creating your own presentation suited to your own audience. Please do not forget to credit the source(s) of your slides. This slide presentation was originally created by Susan Mahon in order to provide an introduction for workshops held in the Grenadines. A Revised version is provided here (S. Mahon; Feb 2008) Workshops were conducted with reference to commitments made by Counterpart Caribbean to contribute to the GEF/UNDP Small Grants Project being managed by the Carriacou Environmental Committee, and considering the ongoing activities being undertaken by the Sustainable Grenadines Project of CERMES, and the Sandy Island/Oyster Bay Project of CREP. Planning and coordinating the logistics of the workshops highlighted the collaboration among all the local principals involved -- especially the Sustainable Grenadines Project (SGP) and the Carriacou Environmental Committee/Carriacou and Petite Martinique Water Taxi Association (CEC/CPMWTA), the Southern Grenadines Water Taxi Association (SGWTA) and Bequia Independent Water Taxi operators. Counterpart funding for the workshops was provided by the European Commission as part of the Caribbean Coastal Co-management and Coral Regeneration Programme (4Cs Programme) of Counterpart Caribbean; managed on a global level by the Foundation of the Peoples of the South Pacific (FSPI).
