This project will develop, implement and showcase sustainable sea moss farming frameworks in Saint Lucia, providing a much-needed livelihood option that is compatible with the conservation of coastal/marine environments. Project partners will work with farmers, community associations, and government to collect and disseminate local ecological knowledge, research technical solutions, and train stakeholders on sustainable production. Sustainable methods and governance mechanisms will be trialled in two sites, and decisionmaking tools developed to support the replication of best practices nationally and beyond.
