WWF -- FishermenAires Marines Engagement Protégées in Mediterraneanet Pêche artisanale Marine - page Protected 53 Areas - page 6 FOREWORD Most Mediterranean fish stocks are currently overexploited: 82 % according to the European Commission and 79 % according to the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (2012). More directly than industrial fisheries, small scale, artisa- nal fisheries are considered to have broader positive effects on coastal communities and often less impact on the marine environment than their industrial counterparts. Artisanal fisheries provide critical income and protein to hundreds of million people and contribute to poverty alleviation and sustainable development in many coastal areas of the world. They operate in some of the biologically richest and most sensitive waters of the planet, where interactions with coastal and marine activities lead to complex interdependencies. John Tanzer signature Artisanal fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea represent roughly 86 % of the approxima- tely 42 000 fishing boats existing in the region. Although in decline and not properly John Tanzer accounted for either scientifically or politically, they are still highly socially, economical- Director Marine Programme ly and ecologically relevant, even for EU countries. Artisanal fisheries provide around WWF International 100 000 direct jobs in the EU alone. In Europe, an operational definition of artisanal fisheries based on an overall length of vessels of up to 12 m has been proposed. The objective of this publication is to show how coastal marine protected area (MPA) establishment and co-management involving fishermen from the very beginning in the Mediterranean have resulted in examples of successful coexistence between fishing and conservation interests such as in Torre Guaceto Marine Protected Area in Italy, Bonifacio Strait Nature Reserve, Scandola Nature Reserve, Port-Cros National Park and Parc marin de la Côte Bleue in France or Columbretes Fisheries Reserve in Spain. In those areas, conservation efforts have resulted in stabilized or even increasing fisheries yields, as confirmed by long-term scientific

Here we present a summary of US experience and discuss potential application of this gear in the Indian Ocean region in the perspective of small-scale fisheries development and bycatch reduction. Introduction Heavy exploitation of swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean during 1980s – early 1990s led to an overfished state in both the North Atlantic and South Atlantic stocks (ICCAT, 2009). High levels of juvenile bycatch in certain areas (in particular, the Florida Straits between Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas) was considered as a major detrimental factor for the stock sustainability.

Definition of artisanal and small-scale fishing: The term “artisanal” refers to the relative level of technology, while “small-scale” refers to the size of the fishing unity (scale) According to FAO’s Glossary: Artisanal, or small-scale fisheries, are traditional fisheries involving fishing households (as opposed to commercial companies), using relatively small amount of capital and energy, relatively small fishing vessels (if any), making short fishing trips, close to shore, and mainly for local consumption. They can be for subsistence or commercial. The Sixth Meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on

Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

Bailey1,2,*, U. R.

We developed a leader−follower game, wherein the Regency government as the leader chooses an enforcement model to discourage illegal fishing. Fishers are then given a choice to fish using legal gears, such as handlines, or to fish with illegal gears, e.g. dynamite (for snapper) or cyanide (for grouper). Given prices and costs of legal and illegal fishing, the status quo simulations with no Regency enforcement result in a large amount of illegal catch throughout the 50 yr simulation, which agrees with expert opinion that destructive illegal fishing is occurring in the region. In an attempt to include ecosystem-based management principles into Raja Ampat governance, we introduce an enforcement regime in the form of detecting and punishing illegal fishing. Results suggest that current fishing practices do not account for the disproportionate ecosystem effects of destructive fishing, and that elimination of dynamite fishing may be easier for the government due to the high profitability of the live fish trade connected with cyanide fishing.

Cover Page – Characterization of the Catch by Swordfish Buoy Gear in Southeast Florida NOAA Cooperative Research Program Grant Number: NA07NMF4540075 Award Period: 8/1/2007 to 8/31/2009 (reflecting “no-cost” extension granted 7/31/2008) David Kerstetter, Ph.D.* (Project Principal Investigator) and Shannon Bayse Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center 8000 North Ocean Drive Dania Beach, FL 33004 *Corresponding Author: [email protected] December 2009 2. Abstract – This project had the goal of characterizing the target catch and bycatch species and disposition within the directed swordfish fishery in southeast Florida that utilizes the so- called “swordfish buoy gear” (SBG). All fieldwork was completed by the end of August 2009 as expected with the “no-cost” extension granted in 2008. The preliminary analyses of the collected data indicate that catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) for catch and bycatch is much higher for SBG than pelagic longline gear. The fishery encounters very little bycatch, and those animals that are captured by the gear are almost always alive at gear retrieval and subsequent release. This project did not encounter any marine mammals, sea turtles, or sea birds. The descriptions of the behavior of the fishing gear itself, such as effective fishing depths and relationships of effective fishing depths with gear configuration indicate that the gear fishes somewhat shallower than simple additions of the lengths of the gear sections would indicate. The various iterations of the field datasheet that captures all of the fishing activities (deployment, “tending”, and retrieval) and gear characteristics has also been provided as an Appendix to this final report.

For example, this applies to the catches of coral reef deploy vessels operating even in Antarctic waters [3,4 ,5]. fisheries, which cannot be sustainable if exhibiting a strong ascending or descending trend.
