Zusammenfassung:Sustainability science can, through capacity building, allow for integrated stakeholder management of the vital Caribbean marine ecosystems. We did a capacity building exercise in two major coral reef areas in Southern Belize. The key outcome was a six-month personal/professional action plan developed by each participant about tactics for leading, educating and supporting issues regarding sustainable development and tactics for collaboration to influence policy decisions. Our results can be applied across the Caribbean.Original Abstract: La ciencia de la sostenibilidad puede, a traves del desarrollo de capacidades, permitir la gestion integrada de los actores interesados en estos ecosistemas marinos vitales del Caribe. Realizamos un ejercicio de desarrollo de capacidades en dos importantes arrecifes de coral al sur de Belice. El resultado clave fue el desarrollo de un plan de accion personal/profesional de seis meses para cada participante sobre tecnicas para liderar, educar y apoyar los problemas acerca del desarrollo sostenible y tecnicas para influir en decisiones politicas. Nuestros resultados se pueden ejecutar a lo largo de todo el Caribe.
