Summary
BAIT proposes to enhance capacity and capability to observe and monitor marine ecosystems in the Cabo Verde archipelago. Through focused training initiatives built around a practical observation programme, BAIT will deliver important information for policy to promote environmentally sustainable economic growth and subsequently help to alleviate poverty. Owing to the project’s knowledge exchange group comprising offshore scientists from other small island developing states and African nations, BAIT’s potential to expand capacity and capability is not solely limited to Cabo Verde.
