The Blue Economy is emerging on the global scene as a powerful and persuasive new concept for sustainable development based on economic activities associated with the ocean. Several regions globally have adopted this concept at national and regional levels, including the Caribbean. Given the complex, multisectoral and multilevel nature of the Blue Economy, it is clear that different approaches will be needed for different regions. Hence, this volume explores the opportunities, threats and risks involved in operationalising the Blue Economy in the Wider Caribbean Region, defined as northern Brazil to the USA and all mainland and island countries and territories in-between. The first part of the book looks at where the region stands in the global picture regarding adoption of the Blue Economy and what is planned. The second set of chapters examines key crosscutting issues such as ecosystem services, climate change and governance at national and regional levels that could make or break the Blue Economy initiative. The book then goes on to explore the main sectoral activities that will constitute the Blue Economies in the region: fisheries, tourism, shipping and transport, renewable energy, oil and gas, seabed mining and waste management are all considered. The book ends with a synthesis of the political and technical requirements to overcome threats and take advantage of opportunities in the Blue Economy.

"THE COLLECTION IS HAUNTING, MAGICAL, BOLD AND SENSITIVE; A COMBINATION OF PRAISE SONGS FOR THE CARIBBEAN AND CRITICISM OF ITS FAULTS/SHORTCOMINGS." -Professor Verene Shepherd, Historian-University of the West Indies Tapping into the voice of the Jamaican people, the poems in this collection speak to life as seen through the eyes of a Caribbean poet grounded in the history, geography and realities of the region and the experiences of its people at home and abroad. Author Cecile Jarrett became committed to recording life in the 1970s when both the Caribbean social and political landscapes were in the throes of change. In Voices from the Shore, she pauses to criticize the Caribbean political shenanigans, roves across the region sensing the quality of life and perilous existence of its people and captures the haunting beauty of the landscape. In "Water," she writes: Mystifying, destroying, / Saving, giving pleasure / Roughing up the roof / Gurgling round the bend / Roaring in the distance / Silent now my friend / Glistening in the sunshine / Gushing from the rock / Surging back to sea / Your power-a potent destroyer. Presenting a dynamic visual and rhythmic flow and lyrical pace, Jarrett captures and shares the pain and pleasure of the Sisyphus-like existence of Jamaican/Caribbean women and people.
