00:26:54.475,00:26:57.475

Communications CRFM: Most welcome!

00:29:12.297,00:29:15.297

Patrick McConney: If there is no time for questions, or I have to leave I hope that the speakers will also address the SIDS4 and SSF Guidelines +10 global events in 2024 as major opportunities to take forward a Caribbean fisheries and aquaculture action agenda.

00:29:32.772,00:29:35.772

Communications CRFM: Good morning, Dr. McConney.

00:29:43.874,00:29:46.874

Communications CRFM: We will ask that the panel addresses this.

00:30:32.466,00:30:35.466

Communications CRFM: If you have to leave, it should be captured in the recording.

00:31:35.681,00:31:38.681

Patrick McConney: Muchas gracias ... I will listen for follow-up

00:31:47.234,00:31:50.234

00:35:30.973,00:35:33.973

Communications CRFM: De nada, Dr. McConney!

00:42:22.791,00:42:25.791

Dexter Miller: With the increase in coastal construction in many of the islands we have seen the destruction of natural coastal protection. Can CNFO make it a priority to lobby for more coastal protection as we see Governments making larger investments in the Tourism sector?

00:43:11.687,00:43:14.687

Communications CRFM: A question for Mr. LaRoda. Thank you, Mr. Miller.

00:54:30.171,00:54:33.171

Communications CRFM: Kindly spare us a few minutes after the webinar to fill out the Post-Webinar Feedback Form. It takes only a few minutes.

00:57:57.517,00:58:00.517

Dexter Miller: As LCDs and SIDs the cost of transition is very high and in some cases impossible. The developed countries which we are heavily dependent on will always make that transition impossible. This does not mean that we should remain quiet on the issue.

01:02:18.814,01:02:21.814

Imran Hosein: Warmest artic summer in history....

01:11:52.730,01:11:55.730

Arlene Laing/CMO: Thank you to the panelists for the information shared.  I would like to add lightning as a specific essential climate variable and the most common severe weather hazard experienced by persons across the globe.

01:12:21.982,01:12:24.982

Adrian La-Roda: @Mr Miller. yes CNFO have a policy position on coastal development that. Our position is guided by the tenants of fisher rights and sustainable use.

01:19:53.706,01:19:56.706

Ian Horsford: Question to any one of the panelist. There is need for an ecosystem approach to tourism ... what is the best strategy to engage the tourism sector given the power imbalance?

[Response from Peter A. Murray: Try to make the tourism sector more appreciative of the fisheries/tourism nexus and how tourism can be considered a part of the ecosystem.]

01:20:50.662,01:20:53.662

Carolyn Henri: Thanks, Arlene for the update on quantifying changes in fragile critical habitats, specifically MANGROVES.  However, the largest problem in places such as BELIZE is enforcement of existing protections.  Regulations are in place to protect these important ecosystems.  They are simply not enforced, especially in high-development areas.   Simply knowing how many mangroves are left will not help in this enforcement environment.

01:26:36.056,01:26:39.056

Giselle Borland: Good discussions

01:28:15.788,01:28:18.788

pamashwar jainarine: Who is going to pay for retooling the artisanal fishery..as it is fishers cannot get a loan to put them back on their feet when they have a disaster

[Response from Peter A. Murray: This is a development issue, and as such governments may have to bite the bullets to assist. There is also need to consider providing development finance into national "development" banks; maybe something like a revolving fund, in support of adaptation in the fisheries sector.]

01:28:17.389,01:28:20.389

Communications CRFM: Please fill out our feedback form. It takes only a few minutes. Thank you.

01:30:28.170,01:30:31.170

Ricardo Morris: In light of the COP discussions, do the Loss and Damage provisions include slow on-set impacts on valuable ecosystem services and what is the mechanism for accessing these?

01:33:00.746,01:33:03.746

Arlene Laing/CMO: Hi Carolyn,  Yes, enforcement is critical.  The economic value of the conservation of the coastal environment needs to be factored into day-to-day decisions.

01:35:06.800,01:35:09.800

Dr. Steve Lennard: How strong is the collaboration among Caribbean countries in addressing these issues related to the ecosystem, etc.?

[Response from Peter A. Murray: In theory, the collaboration is there but could/should be stronger at the implementation level.]

01:46:29.021,01:46:32.021

Nerissa Gittens: While we acknowledge evidence based decisions are critical to sound policy decision, how do collect with the situation while working to collect that data. Who will finance the research and data collection necessary.

01:46:37.164,01:46:40.164

Keith Nichols: Totally Agreed Mr. Kong.  Now I understand but you are absolutely right

01:49:19.050,01:49:22.050

Dexter Miller: In many of our Caribbean states don't have infrastructure in place to deal with ship sewage which plays a big part in the destruction of the reefs.

01:50:18.294,01:50:21.294

Dexter Miller: How are we going to address the disposal of ship waste in the Caribbean?

[Response from Peter A. Murray: A couple decades ago, the OECS countries had a waste project, which gave consideration to ship-generated waste and from which there are lessons to be learnt.]

02:09:27.387,02:09:30.387

Communications CRFM: We will refer the remaining questions to the panelists.
