    Strengthening the Resilience of Coastal Communities by Promoting Responsible Fishing Practices in Latin America and The Caribbean - GCP/RLA/201/GFF 2022
    Also available in:
    The six countries targeted by the project Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago share water and marine resources in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp/bottom trawl fisheries constitute an important part of the total marine fisheries economy in the project countries, contributing to employment, local income, food security and foreign exchange earnings. Bottom trawling is a type of fishing that has a significant impact upon ecosystems and has generated social conflicts in areas in which it operates. In this context, the project was created with the objective of contributing to reducing the negative ecosystem and social impacts, and to achieve a more sustainable shrimp trawl fishery through both the application of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and co management for the active participation of stakeholders. It also planned to promote the improvement and diversification of the livelihoods of coastal communities in order to strengthen resilience and food security.
