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.

Hilo Fish Company Inc. and Compex Indústria e Comércio De Pesca E Exportação LTDA have leveraged their industry expertise and resources to develop regional strategies aimed at enhancing the sustainability of the target species in North Eastern Brazil. UoA target species include Red Grouper (Epinephelus morio),  Black Grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci), and Snowy Grouper (Epinephelus niveatus) caught by handline and longline, within the Brazilian EEZ of FAO Major Fishing Area 41.
