Q20. Biophysical parameters: 2 Bonus Points each

Q20. Focal species abundance, cover, and composition have been researched during the AGRRA research campaigns, and other ad hoc projects. Other species abundance such as conch has been obtained in a previous research study by external researchers. Water quality has also been measured in the past, although not consistently, by the SVG NGO SusGren. Information regarding to fish landings is also available, at least from 1999-2006.

Q21. How are the biophysical indicators being measured/monitored? (Maximum score = 2)

Q21. Research has only been conducted after the implementation of the MPA, and mostly inside the MPA boundaries so comparisons on the impact of the Park is limited.

Q22. How frequently are the biophysical indicators being measured?

2

Q22. Frequency of monitoring depends on external organizations and funding. However, there are few activities being developed on a yearly basis such as turtle monitoring and seabird monitoring.

Bonus Point: Some parameters are measured more than once every year

Q23. Monitoring and evaluation: Are socioeconomic indicators monitored and evaluated?

Q23. Some socio-economic information was gathered ten years ago but current information is very limited.

Q24. Socioeconomic Parameters: 2 Bonus Points each

Q24. Information regarding the use of the marine area has been gathered, as well as regarding infrastructure existing on the area. In addition, employment and unemployment rate information is also available. Information on the different fishing gear used by fishermen, the fishing fleet, and the landed value from 1999-2006 had also been gathered previously. Furthermore, data on household income and stakeholders’ level of education was also gathered in a previous research. Finally, information regarding concerns of the area was collected in a previous survey, as well as perception information of the importance of the reefs at the TCMP. All data collection efforts were undertaken by entities external to the TCMP.
