Coastal communities are highly vulnerable to climate-related disasters. Ecosystem-based approaches are crucial to adapting to climate change. It is paramount to foster social inclusion to assess people’s perception of nature as a tool for adaptation. KAPs are essential to gather baseline information that evaluate these perceptions. To date, for Trinidad and Tobago, there is no validated instrument to evaluate coastal communities’ KAP in relation to Ecosystem-based Approaches, DRR and CCA and as such, this study aims to develop and validate this instrument.
Enhanced rates of environmental change pose a significant threat to freshwater organisms within the Caribbean. Given the pivotal role that these organisms play in supporting ecosystem function, it has become increasingly necessary to understand how they will respond to future changes. This study provides an in-depth analysis of how ostracod populations from Freshwater Pond in Barbuda have responded to environmental changes in the past.
