November 2023 Webinar - Ramsar Convention Implementation in Coastal Wetlands of the Caribbean

Speaker: Steffanie Munguía The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat, signed in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, is an international agreement promoting the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Despite the socioecological importance of coastal wetlands in the Caribbean, and the widespread adoption of the Convention in the basin, these systems, and the effectiveness of their management and governance, remain understudied in the region. This talk presents the findings of my dissertation examining the implementation of the Ramsar Convention in Caribbean coastal wetlands in several countries to examine the political, economic, and sociocultural context of decision-making. Specifically, it will explore (1) gaps between Convention expectations and national, subnational, and site-level policies; (2) the scalability of blue carbon as a financing mechanism in Ramsar sites; and (3) the structure of decision-making networks. Developing a deeper understanding of the influence of these contexts on the implementation of the Ramsar Convention in the Caribbean is critical to safeguarding the ecological character and wise use of these coastal wetlands. ------ If you're an SWS member, you can request a certificate for viewing this webinar by emailing [email protected].
