Beaver Street Fisheries have decided to partner with CeDePesca to design a prospective FIP, with the ultimate goal of achieving a certifiable status for the lane snapper- handline and trap –fishery in Brazil.
The lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris) it is one of the main demersal fishing resources caught with line in Brazil. It has a wide geographic distribution, being found from North Carolina, USA, to the Southeast of Brazil and lives in various types of substrates, mainly around coral reefs and algae banks.
In Brazil, fisheries management is shared between the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture (MPA) and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and it is known that there has not been a continuous fisheries statistics program since 2008. However, the Permanent Committee on Management and Sustainable Use of Demersal Resources in the North and Northeast, which aims to advise on the sustainable exploitation of demersal resources, resumed their meetings in 2022.
If you are interested in participating from this FIP at its initial stages, please contact CeDePesca or Beaver Street Fisheries.
