Synopsis (short abstract) The project "Governance Strengthening for the Management and Protection of Coastal & Marine Biodiversity in key ecological areas and the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries” in Argentina, implemented between May 2017 and March 2024, focused on improving the management and protection of marine biodiversity and promoting the ecosystem approach to fishing. The final evaluation, carried out with the participation of various actors, highlighted the high relevance and coherence of the project, as well as the institutional strengthening and development of technical capacities. The creation of synergies, instances of dialogue and high-quality lasting results also stands out. It is recommended to replicate this successful model in future projects in the region, ensuring institutional sustainability and the inclusion of transversal perspectives such as gender from the project design. It is recommended to adjust the governance and internal communication mechanisms, and better disseminate the products produced.

    The project focused on the following global environmental objectives: i) strengthen management and protection capcitites for marine biodiversity in areas of ecological importance by creating new marine protected areas and applying the ecosystem approach to fisheries; and ii) expand knolwedge about the biological, ecological, social and economic aspects of marine ecosystems and their biodiversity to manage the protection of key aread for biodiversity, and minimize the negative impacts of fishing by implementing the ecosystm approach to fisheries.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Strengthening of governance for the protection of biodiversity through the formulation and implementation of the National Strategy on Invasive Alien Species

    The project, implemented in Argentina between July 2015 and June 2022, had the objectives of developing a framework strengthened governance that allows the effective protection of biodiversity against the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) and enhances the current and future socioeconomic benefits derived from the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. The evaluation estimates that as a result of the implementation of the project, Argentina is better prepared to face the challenge of IAS management and has made progress towards enhancing the socioeconomic benefits derived from the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity by controlling IAS.

    Terminal evaluation of the areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) Deep-Sea project, part of the “Sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation of deep-sea living marine resources and ecosystems in ABNJ”

    The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprises 40 percent of the earth’s surface, it covers 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Program (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring various stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Deep-Sea project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, was of great assistance to newly-formed regional fisheries management organization and arrangements (RFMO/As), as well as some long-standing regional fisheries. The project showed positive results in safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems, strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, mitigating bycatch mortality trends, and building awareness of cross-sectoral aspects in effective governance of ABNJ. Through its cooperation with RFMOs, the project has, to some extent, contributed to minimize the negative impacts of bycatch. Results achieved should be capitalized on and upscaled in a second phase.
