The Mauritanian Small Pelagic FIP was initiated by a partnership between the Mauritanian fishery authority, the Mauritanian oceanographic and fisheries research institute, local businesses, and international fishmeal and oil buyers. The fishery consists of artisanal and coastal purse seine and pelagic trawl vessels targeting round sardinella (Sardinella aurita), flat sardinella (Sardinella maderensis), a shared regional stock, and obo (Ethmalosa fimbriata) in Mauritanian waters zones 1, 2 and 3 in the Atlantic Ocean. The FIP aims to bring transparency and ensure sustainability of the resource. The IFFO-RS Standard was chosen as the benchmark for the assessment and work plan. The FIP aims to improve performance against these criteria, as Fishery Progress reports using MSC certification an analyses of IFFO RS versus MSC was carried out to translate the IFFO standard to MSC PIs.
This FIP has recently progressed to IFFO RS V2 and has created a new profile to reflect this new benchmarking and actions.
