As the Caracol industrial park is set up by the Haitian government with support from the international community, the Lagons du Nord-Est Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) faces new threats due to the expected rise in population and industrial activities. The Fondation pour la Protection de la Biodiversite Marine (FoProBiM) project engages local communities and authorities, whose livelihoods rely on coastal and marine ecosystems, to design a participatory management plan for a Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) that could potentially be recognized in the future under the national protected areas system.

Strategic Direction: 1 Improve protection and management of 45 priority key biodiversity areas
