Synopsis (short abstract) The project responded to an urgent need expressed at the 14th and 15th sessions of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (in 2012 and 2014, respectively) to increase the availability of essential information for fisheries management. This was to be achieved through interagency/ interinstitutional and interproject collaboration in the wider Caribbean region on fisheries, aquaculture and related issues, building on the comparative advantages of each, in support of responsible development and management of the sector. The specific objectives of this project were to ( i ) begin the operations of the transversal Working Group on Fisheries Data and Statistics by firmly establishing it and supporting its first meeting, (ii) endorse a set of minimum data requirements and standards and identification of pipeline ones and (iii) create a functional Regional Database prototype targeting the five main regionally shared stocks (spiny lobster, queen conch, flying fish, billfish and shrimp and groundfish ) and their fisheries.

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.
