Project Management 6

• 2009 – EFJ - Fish Sanctuary Management Plan – July – (18 months) J$2.7mAs a support to the establishment of the fish sanctuaries in the PBPA we sought and received funds toprepare and disseminate participatory management for the three sanctuaries. This will serve as a planningtool for C-CAM and a way to engage stakeholders and to do some public education.
• 2009 - UNDP Climate Change Adaptation – Planning grant August – Oct 2009 – US$2000 –This allowed us to get stakeholder participation through a Vulnerability Risk Assessment process whichinformed the full project proposal that was prepared.
• 2007- 2009 – Duke University – By-catch project – US$9000Data collection and assessment of information related to by-catch of fishers on beaches across Jamaica.The focus was on what catch fishers reported, frequency, how many and where as well as data about thenumber of fishers on each beach and number of boats as well as type of gear, role and size of boat andengine. We also asked fishers what they did with catch such as dolphins, manatee when they were caughtby them.
• 2010 –2011: on-going UNDP – Climate Change Adaptation - Full project – US$48,000As a result of the proposal submitted using the planning grant we have been successful in receivingconfirmation that we will be signing the MOA for this project in January 2010. This will allow us toconduct public education sessions in CCA, monitoring (some with assistance of community members),
workshops on alternate livelihoods, demonstration projects, CCA Expo, prepare manuals for teachers andstudents on CCA matters in communities surrounding the fish sanctuaries.
• 2010 – 2011: on-going EFJ – Public Education project- J$5.7mIn writing the Fish Sanctuary management plans we also produced a public education plan to provideinformation to stakeholders about where the sanctuaries are, the importance of the sanctuaries, what is notallowed in the sanctuaries & other relevant information. The plan will target communities in and aroundthe sanctuaries.
2010 – 2012: on-going Forest Conservation Fund – Prepare management plan for the PortlandBight Protected Area J$9.5mThis will be used to prepare a participatory management plan for the terrestrial parts of the PBPA & tointegrate the marine plan into this. This will also allow for the creation of the Portland Bight BiosphereReserve.
•
2010 – 2011: on-going – Seacology – US$30,000•To establish field station in Salt River from where the field staff who will be managing the newly createdFish Sanctuaries in the PBPA will be operating. This includes purchase of steel containers to be retrofittedand established as offices and dormitories.
• 2010 - on-going: PBPA Fish Sanctuaries Management Project – Jamaican Government, Ministry OfAgriculture & Fisheries, Fisheries Division ~ J$7m per yearC-CAM has signed an MOU with the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries, Fisheries Division to managethe three Fish Sanctuaries located in the PBPA. The funds will allow C-CAM to hire several ConservationOfficers who will conduct extensive public education in the area making persons, especially fishers awareof the new fisheries management regulations. They will also conduct enforcement of the regulations andscientific and socioeconomic monitoring of the sanctuaries. Additional sanctuaries are being consideredfor the PBPA.

• 2002: UNESCO – Organization of American States OAS - Socio-economic studyWe received a grant to do a detailed socioeconomic study of coastal communities in the PBPA. Theproject would also assist C-CAM to engage with a wider section of the residents of the PBPA andestablish Portland Bight Citizens Councils. The data collection and data entry was done by the staff whilethe analysis and write up was done by the Executive Director at the time. The data is used by variousgovernment and academic agencies such as the Social Development Commission and other groups intheir work as well as students doing research in the area.• 2004-5: Oxfam/ECHO - Post Ivan Recovery Project- J$5mThis project included conducting surveys in nine communities to determine the needs of persons whohad damaged or lost their sanitary facilities due to the passage of the hurricane. Based on the results ofthe survey we were able to build more than nine hundred (900) latrines in the area. We hired a projectmanager and more than fifteen (15) community persons to assist our staff with the various aspects of theproject. We worked along with ODPEM & Red Cross as well as other agencies to offer public health/disaster planning information to community members.• 2005: USAID - Post Ivan- Fishers Recovery projectAfter Hurricane Ivan we received a small grant from USAID which allowed us to purchase and distributemesh wire to affected fishers on several beaches in the area to assist them to rebuild their stock of fishtraps. C-CAM used the opportunity to purchase mesh wire with larger holes than was commonly inuse to determine how this reduction of the fishing pressure on juvenile fish would affect the fishery.Unfortunately C-CAM was unable to fund a scientific assessment of the changes however there werestrong anecdotal reports that the pots had to stay out longer but the catch (weight) was bigger.In collaboration with the Caribbean Maritime Institute CMI we offered training for several fishers inseveral related fields. Those fishers who attended all of the sessions received life jackets, certificatesas well as GPS units to assist them with their fishing. Some of those fishers still use those units whennavigating long distances as well as when setting their pots at sea instead of relying only on landmarks.We also received funds to establish a radio system with repeater antennas in Portland Ridge and PortHenderson Hill. We received handheld radios as well as a few base stations and car radios for the system.This system will be an invaluable communication system that will be used by our rangers, communityeducators and voluntary game wardens.• 2006/7: USAID - Ja Style - Our Gems - US$5,000.00 parenting projectC-CAM has provided administrative assistance for other community organizations in the area. A smallcommunity organisation working in the May Pen area of Clarendon wanted to implement a projectpromoting proper parenting (working with parents and their children. C-CAM administered the projectensuring that the activities were on time and that the USAID funds were properly spent and accounted.• 2002, 2006/7/8: JSDN/UNDP J$5m (2 grants) & US Peace Corps J$350,000These grants gave us funds to establish and maintain a cyber center which currently has ADSL Internetconnection, twelve (12) computers, fax machine, scanners and five (5) printers/copiers. We offercomputer classes to community members, students and business persons. Additionally we offer severalservices including but not limited to printing, photocopying, faxing (receiving & sending), typing andresearch. The UNDP funded project underwrote the cost to training more than one hundred (100) youngpersons (17-25 years old) in Information technology, dispute resolution as well as personal, career andsmall business development. We were also able to assist some persons as Interns as well as short andlong term employment at our office as well as other business places/schools in Clarendon.• 2006-7: Cockpit Citizens Association(CCA) – EFJ funded projectThe Cockpit Citizens Association CCA received a grant from the Environmental Foundation of JamaicaEFJ to do a public education project focusing on the importance of wetlands. This included a seriesof workshops and field trips to sites in the area, placing appropriate signs as well as an end of projectexpo. C-CAM staff conducted the workshops and led the field trips and we were also a member of theimplementation/project management committee.• 2007-8: Oxfam/ECHO - Post Dean Recovery Project - J$16mThis project included conducting surveys in affected communities to determine the needs of personsimpacted by the hurricane. Working in collaboration with Oxfam we replaced some five hundred (500)toilets some of which were urine separating toilets, placed communal water tanks in six (6) communitiesand kept them filled with potable water until the public supply could be restored, provided some residentswith rain water harvesting solutions, hired and trained some twenty five (25) community members toassist with data collection and data entry. In addition we hired construction contractors who providedheavy equipment to work along with community members to remove storm created debris from someeleven (11) communities in conjunction with NSWMA & Bouygues Travaux Publics. We also hired andtrained twenty (20) community persons to provide proper public health and hygiene practice instructionin schools, churches, business places and house to house in the communities. This project was a jointlymanaged by C-CAM and Oxfam staff.• 2007-8: UNDP Global Environment Facility (GEF) small grants – Wetland SustainableManagement Phase 1 - US$30,000.00This is an ongoing project in partnership with the Jamalco Bauxite Alumina Company. The objectiveis to initiate sustainable tourism in the Rocky Point /Salt River area, through wetlands and wildlifemanagement, and assessing the feasibility of a watchable wildlife pond and boat tours.• 2007-8: NCB Post Dean Recovery - J$10mAfter Hurricane Dean we were approached by the NCB Foundation and asked to submit a proposal toassist fishers in their recovery process. The first phase included procurement and distribution of meshwire to fishers on six (6) beaches in the PBPA. Prior to the distributions we relied on our representativesamong the fishers to assist with gathering the names of those persons who had suffered damages to theirpots as a result of the hurricane. It also included having training workshops focusing on sustainablefisheries. The second phase included developing participatory disaster plans for six (6) communities inthe area as well as providing materials and supplies to establish C-CAM as first responders in the areain the event of a disaster. This project also supported the hosting of a Fisheries Symposium duringfisherman’s’ week 2008.• 2007-8 on-going: Post card Project – Sterling Asset Management – J$0.8mSterling Asset Management was encouraged to provide C-CAM with some financial support and theydecided to fund the printing of 90,000 post cards with images of the PBPA which could then be sold andthe earnings from that be used to produce other similar material or print more cards with different images.The launch of this partnership (publicity) and the earnings are expected to help to jump start C-CAM’splans for nature and heritage tourism in the area.• 2009 – EFJ - Fish Sanctuary Management Plan – July – (18 months) J$2.7mAs a support to the establishment of the fish sanctuaries in the PBPA we sought and received funds toprepare and disseminate participatory management for the three sanctuaries.
