Overview
What is a Prospective FIP?
Prospective FIPs intend to meet the requirements for active FIPs within one year. These projects are posted on FisheryProgress to help users identify opportunities to support developing FIPs and prevent the start of duplicate FIPs. Prospective FIPs are not yet demonstrating progress toward sustainability.

Caribbean Garden and Deep Sea Atlantic have partnered with CeDePesca to design a FIP for the red snapper - bottom longline fishery in Tabasco, Mexico.
As part of the development phase, CeDePesca will be conducting an MSC pre-assessment of the fishery to identify the main obstacles to sustainability and will propose a FIP Action Plan aimed at achieving a certifiable status for the fishery against the MSC standard.
Landings for red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) in the Campeche Bank were 5144 metric tons in 2023. Out of these, 665 metric tons were landed in the state of Tabasco.
