Mariculture Consultant, TNC
St. Lucia
Terms of Reference For the project “Enhancing Business Opportunities in
Marine Aquaculture in St. Lucia”
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Production, Fisheries and Rural
Development seeks a suitably qualified consultant, individual or
organisation to conduct a feasibility study to determine mariculture
potential in St. Lucia, conduct pilot trials and assess cost of
production for new mariculture species and assess market potential both
nationally and
internationally.
Background
Marine aquaculture or “mariculture” involves the cultivation of marine
plants or animals, and in St Lucia to date has focused on the growing of
marine algae (commonly called ‘seamoss’) on ropes in Praslin, Bois
Chadon, Canelle and Laborie. Therefore, the scope for expansion and
diversification within this sector is significant. In the Eastern
Caribbean, there is still a strong demand for seamoss with good extract
quality. However, there is a need to covert local seamoss farmers and
processors to use the Euchema cottonii so as to take advantage of
advanced local markets and existing high demand markets overseas. The
fisheries sector continues to provide important sources of income across
St. Lucia and this project is expected to provide avenues for
diversification and expansion of marine aquaculture in Saint Lucia.
Objectives of the assignment
1. Conduct a feasibility study for expansion and diversification of
mariculture in St. Lucia.
2. Collaboratively with seamoss farmers, Department of Fisheries staff
and other interest groups/individuals to acquire, introduce and assess
the cost of production and production potential of E. cottonii.
3. Assess and capitalise on value-added opportunities domestically and
the export market potential of E. cottonii.
4. Provide training and capacity building to mariculture farmers,
Department of Fisheries staff and other interest groups/individuals.
5. Assist in the revision and legislation for the regulation of
mariculture practises in Saint Lucia.
Duration:
The project will commence from October 2012 to March 31, 2012.
Deliverables:
No. Deliverable
1 Work Plan
2 Comprehensive Feasibility Study
3 Cost of Production Study
4 Report on Production potential of E. cottonii
5 Report on value-added potential and export market potential
6 At least Four Training and capacity building workshops held
7 Report on current and recommended way forward for regulation of
mariculture
*Please note that funding will be provided for hosting workshops.
# The reports shall be submitted in English. Reports and documents
relevant to the Consultant’s services shall become the property of the
St. Lucia Ministry of Agriculture, Food Production, Fisheries and Rural
Development.
Salary:
The consultant will be paid for each deliverable for an amount totalling
EC$50,000.00.
Working Arrangements:
The Department of Fisheries will have oversight and supervise the work
of the Consultant. This involves the provision of advice and operational
oversight in guiding the Consultant towards the accomplishment of the
assigned tasks. A counterpart from the Department of Fisheries will be
assigned to work with the consultant fulltime. The Department of
Fisheries will also provide office space for use by the Consultant while
undertaking the assignment in St. Lucia. However, the consultant may be
required to provide computer and other similar office equipment. In the
conduct of work, the Consultant shall cooperate fully with the relevant
departments and Units of all Government Ministries, Departments and
Agencies in St. Lucia.
Qualifications and Skill Requirements:
The consultant must meet the following requirements:
* Must have relevant experience in Mariculture production and business
development, seamoss cultivation, Market analysis and determination of
production/operating costs.
* Must have at least a Master of Science Degree in Mariculture, Marine
Biology or related field;
