Inception Meeting

The journey toward a sustainable blue economy for Barbados began with the Barbados Marine Spatial Plan (MSP) Inception Meeting. This pivotal gathering brought together key stakeholders, government representatives, industry leaders, and community voices to lay the foundation for a future that balances the protection of our marine environment with its sustainable use. Held as part of the broader marine spatial planning process, the meeting served to introduce the vision and goals of the MSP initiative. It emphasized collaboration, inclusivity, and transparency as central pillars to achieving an equitable and effective management framework for Barbados’ marine spaces.
