"Knowledge is an essential driver for sound, evidence-based decisions and policies and is critical for strengthening the region’s participation, representation, influence, and bargaining power in international dialogues and negotiations."

CRFM Ministerial Council 

Resolution No. MC 18 (23) of 2024

Our GOAL: To improve the CRFM’s overall knowledge management framework and systems, through a strengthened culture of knowledge sharing, to ensure greater access to the CRFM's expansive knowledge base and to strengthen capacities for multi-sectoral collaboration, management, decisions, and policy formulation.

AVAILABLE DIGITAL TOOLS & PLATFORMS FOR INFORMATION SHARING

The CRFM, both on its own and through donor-funded projects, has developed an array of knowledge management platforms for collaboration and information sharing and transfer, and several of these are interlinked to direct and/or redirect stakeholders to a wealth of CRFM knowledge products.

1. Digital  Aquaculture Library

This provides access to online aquaculture resources as well as a directory of aquaculture sector entities in our region. Users can submit new records to the registry.

The CRFM is redoubling its efforts to strengthen its knowledge base, especially as it pertains to scientific data and information, including those to be acquired from future surveys of Caribbean maritime spaces. The active support of decision-makers, policy makers and other government executives is needed to drive the uptake and application of both scientific and traditional knowledge generated through the efforts of the CRFM, in collaboration with its Member States and partners, to ensure evidence-based decisions and policies, as well as to strengthen the region’s participation, representation, influence, and bargaining power in international dialogues and negotiations.

CRFM Portal Resources

The CRFM Portal was established in 2019 with support from the Regional Track of the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR) in the Caribbean. Initially, the CRFM Portal primarily contained data and information derived from the CRFM-led marine sub-component of the PPCR and from the Flyingfish Sub-Project implemented under the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem Plus (CLME+) Project. To enhance knowledge sharing and uptake, the Portal was later populated (during 2022/2023) with other project-based outputs, including those emanating from the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) Sanitary and PhytoSanitary (SPS) Measures Project, and its successor – the 11th EDF SPS Measures Project.
