Sustainable Management of Bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean Trawl Fisheries (REBYC-II LAC)

Component 1

Improving institutional and regulatory frameworks for shrimp/bottom trawl fisheries and co-management

This component focuses on the institutional and legal arrangements, and frameworks for co-management. Considering that many of the issues and concerns with respect to shrimp and trawl fisheries are shared in the region, a regional collaboration will be necessary. Well-tested collaborative solutions will be of benefit for the whole region. With the help of regional fishery bodies, regional cooperation that allows for sharing of experience and mobilization of political support for action will be promoted. 

 

Expected Outcomes

  • Regional collaboration on shrimp/bottom trawl fisheries and bycatch management is strengthened and best practices identified and shared through the regional fisheries organizations.
  • Legal and institutional frameworks in the project countries for shrimp and bottom trawl fisheries and bycatch co-management are improved.
