REPORTS
Bermuda’s EEZ is biologically rich, contains priceless marine cultural heritage, provides food and economic opportunities, and supports tourism and recreation. As we begin to determine the best ways to protect and manage our marine resources, we needed to better understand the current state of Bermuda’s waters.
This report looks at the physical status, economic context, and social influences on Bermuda’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).This new report aims to provide context for current and future comprehensive marine planning processes, a topic discussed further in the report’s final section.
The State of Bermuda’s Waters would not have been possible without the 25 island experts from various Government ministries and departments who contributed their time and efforts over a 14-month period to draft this report.
