Abstract

Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands (BVI), and Montserrat are three United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs) located in the north-eastern Caribbean region. Their local economies shifted from agriculture and artisanal fishing to tourism after the advent of international travel to the Caribbean in the 1950s and 1960s, but this has not been without adverse environmental impacts. Ensuring the protection of the very assets that attract visitors to each Territory is critical, but is increasingly more difficult due to both preexisting issues and due to the increasingly prevalent impacts of climate change. What immediate actions each Territory takes now will ultimately determine the future sustainability of their marine and coastal resources.
