    Develop and implement a fully expressed public relations and communications campaign of the Unleashing the Blue Economy of the Eastern Caribbean (UBEC) project for the Organisation of the Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The Unleashing the Blue Economy of the Caribbean (UBEC) Series of Projects (SOP) will help the region with the new approach, rebuilding economic activities and setting the foundation for a more equitable, inclusive, climate-resilient, and sustainable economy. The blue economy is defined as an approach to promote sustainable and integrated use of marine resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and job generation while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems. It covers a range of interdependent sectors, including fisheries, coastal tourism, and waste management. Fisheries, for example, provide the hospitality industry with quality and affordable seafood, while the tourism sector supports fisher livelihoods and generates employment. Waste management, meanwhile, is crucial to the health of fisheries and other marine resources and ecosystems which are, in turn, critical for the beaches and other natural assets that attract holiday makers.
