Solutions and case studies
Fish Forever in Brazil: Solution for community-based fisheries management
As coastal development increases in Brazil, artisanal fishers struggle to protect their resources. By leveraging the government-created Extractive Reserves’ (RESEXs) legal structure and working with government, local fishers’ organizations, and communities, Rare’s Fish Forever program in Brazil has 1) established community-led governance and authority over artisanal fisheries; 2) designated managed-access fishing areas, combined with no-take reserves; and 3) improved participation of fishers and communitiy members in fisheries management and decision-making.
Sustainable Management of Morocco's Marine Resources
Implementation of an ecosystem-based participatory planning program for the benefit of artisanal fishermen operating in the Mediterranean. Under this program, fishermen were able to identify the challenges posed by illegal trawling and dynamite fishing. The creation of a monitoring committee allowed them to take their part in fighting these threats. Their overall income increased thanks to the commercial management of fishery products in the newly created cooperatives.
Promoting aquaculture for a better preservation of Soariake Marine Protected Area
Like most coastal areas in Madagascar, Soariake MPA is located in a remote area where people depend on fishing activities for their subsistence and the lack of alternatives leads to overfishing of marine resources.
In 2016, WCS Madagascar established a partnership with two private companies – COPEFRITO and Indian Ocean Trepan– operating in South West Madagascar to promote aquaculture in Soariake MPA through an industry approach based on “village farmers”. Seacucumber and seaweed farming have been choosen with regards to local context and potential.
For seacucumber farms, IOT provides technical support and seed at a competitive price, and they are committed to buy the harvest. WCS ensures the equipment for the enclosures and the local communities are in charge of the management of the farm. For the seaweed aquaculture, COPEFRITO provides plants, equipment and technical support, the local communities manage the farms and sells the harvest to COPEFRITO.
Fish Forever in the Philippines: Campaign for managed access and sanctuaries
A social marketing and behavior change campaign is being implemented to encourage community support for the set-up of Managed Access Areas + Sanctuaries, a fishery management approach that designates exclusive fishing areas for certain groups of fishers in exchange for compliance with more sustainable fishery practices. This is paired with a household resiliency strategy to help build financial assets for houselholds supporting the program.
Community-based Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (CEAFM)
CEAFM addresses the problem of declining fish and shellfish populations and the potential impacts of climate change in three selected communities in the State of Yap, FSM. It represents a combination of three different perspectives: fisheries management, ecosystem management and community-based management. It is a broader approach to manage fisheries as component of the marine ecosystem.
