CRFM’S CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH JICA
Case studies within CRFM (various aspects of fisheries management system, e.g. legal/ regulatory framework, data & monitoring, participatory approach, ecosystem approach)
Japanese experiences – coastal management & fisheries cooperatives.
Action planning for addressing specific fisheries management objectives
Recommendations & next actions
CRFM’S COLLABORATION WITH CARIFICO PROJECT
Regional project and agency updates on FAD fishery management (Univ. Florida, MAGDELESA, CRFM-ICCAT cooperation)
Japanese experiences – Okinawa FAD fishery experience (management and development)
Okinawa Environmental Club – NGO operating Okinawa International Centre for training in fisheries extension & more
CARIFICO project review
CRFM’S COLLABORATION WITH CARIFICO PROJECT

ALL PELAGIC SPECIES
Literature review of FAD fisheries statistical management across CRFM Member States
Considered findings & recommendations.
Considered options for start up of FAD fisher log book system
(start with few fishers, start with basic data)
CRFM’S PELAGIC WORKING GROUP (PWG) 2014
Logbook active fisher participation in data collection
integral part of participatory approach
St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada reported
that they have engaged a few fishers for catch/ effort
data recording, & St. Lucia is to initiate such
participation.
Need for efficient awareness building among fishers
before implementation
Proposed that countries select a small group of fishers
(in the initial stages) to work with the logbooks, then
expand.
Data collection form being kept simple for maximum
cooperation & cost-effective for printing.
CRFM PWG - KEY FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
A draft fisher logsheet – CARIFICO Project Directors’ meeting (October 2014)
Based on the recommendations from the Directors’ meeting and other
suggestions received, a second draft was developed that considered:
Literacy levels of fishers - minimize required writing; identify species
graphically
Need for countries to customize specific fields accordingly (e.g. landing site,
fishing area/FAD location, gear type)
Inclusion of section for fisher financial record-keeping – fisher to keep copy of
records submitted to Fisheries Department
Transparency and accountability in administrative record-keeping – issuance
of logbooks
