Mid-term evaluation of ‘’Sustainable management of bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean trawl fisheries’’
Overview
The Sustainable management of bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean trawl fisheries (REBYC-II LAC) is a project funded by the GEF and implemented in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. These countries share water and marine resources in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp/bottom trawl fisheries are an important part of their fisheries economy and contribute to employment, local incomes, food security and foreign exchange earnings. The project aims to improve the management of bycatch, and support the sustainable development of the trawling sector and the involved communities. The mid-term evaluation found that the project’s effectiveness has varied radically from country to country, yet there are a series of achievements, especially where there was a strong government ownership (for example in relation to improved legal and institutional frameworks). FAO, which is perceived as a third party not vested in the conflicts, has encouraged dialogue between different stakeholders in order to search for sustainable solutions to bycatch issues and trawl fisheries. For the second part of the project, a strategic vision regarding the need to produce outcomes (not only products or outputs) and generation of financial as well as institutional capacities will be needed in order to ensure sustainability.
