    The aims of the project entitled Sustainable Management of Bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean Trawl Fisheries (REBYC-II LAC) are to reduce food loss and support sustainable livelihoods by improving the management of bycatch and minimizing discards and sea-bed damage, thereby transforming bottom trawl fisheries into responsible fisheries. Most fish and shrimp stocks targeted by the bottom/shrimp trawl fisheries in the Latin America and Caribbean region are fully fished or overfished, and fish eries suffer from serious governance failures, causing reduced food supply, deeper poverty, social instability and growing user conflicts. Collective and catalyzing actions are urgently needed to address the multiple stresses these fisheries suffer in order to provide long-term benefits for the environment, food production, economic development and regional social stability before irreversible conditions develop. The REBYC-II LAC project covers four integrated components: (i) improved collaborat ive institutional and regulatory arrangements for bycatch management; (ii) strengthening management and optimizing utilization of bycatch within the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) framework; (iii) sustainable livelihoods, diversification and alternatives; and (iv) project progress monitoring and information dissemination.

    The project “Sustainable management of bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean trawl fisheries” was financed by GEF, implemented and executed by FAO. With an overall evaluation rating of Highly Satisfactory, the assessment has identified notable results in strengthening regional collaboration, improving legal frameworks and co-management mechanisms; successful trials of bycatch reduction devices; and building capacity, including of women. The global environment objective (GEO) and the project development objective (PDO) were partially achieved, reflecting the over-ambitiousness of the design. However, the enabling environment created, and the transformational results will contribute towards achievement of these objectives in the long-term. Strategic partnerships and the high level of stakeholder engagement including the private sector contributed to successful delivery. Recommendations include actions to be taken by the project partners and stakeholders to build on the project results to achieve sustainable, long-term impact; thematic areas for follow-up projects; more realistic project objectives and improvement in institutional arrangements and administrative procedures for future projects; sustaining partnerships; enhancing livelihoods and empowerment of women fish workers; and better communication and knowledge management.
