Common Guidelines and Criteria for Protected Areas in the Wider Caribbean Region: Indentification, Selection, Establishment and Management.
The following guidelines are not intended to replace the extensive theoretical and methodological information and the national policies of each country that exist on the planning and management of protected areas. Rather, ISTAC is urging the Governments to consider these guidelines as basic tools to be applied according to the natural and socio-political characteristics of each country and in keeping the provisions of Article 7 of the Protocol.
