This report (the Final Technical Report) presents the work and results of the project Support to update the Fisheries Regulations in Belize. The overall purpose and results to be achieved by the Project are recalled as follows: • the purpose is to update the fisheries regulations to strengthen the capacity of the Fisheries Administration in managing marine and inland fisheries; and • the results to be achieved include: o completion of a technical review and stakeholder consultations; o completion of a validation workshop to review the draft regulations; and o updated draft regulations to be presented to the Fisheries Department. Methodology 2. The consultations indicated at an early stage three main objectives or tasks involved in reviewing and updating the regulations: Consolidation (and simplification), so as to produce a single set of coherent and easy to use regulations; Consistency with the new Act, for example by referencing the right authority or procedure, and by utilizing the same terminologies, etc.; and Updating to add new policy and management measures, according to instructions received from the Fisheries Department. 3. At an early stage it was recognised that some significant adaptations in the proposed implementation methodology and activities would be required to meet the existing needs of the Fisheries Department. Key issues included the fluid state of the draft Fisheries Act (with new versions appearing during the project, and competences for certain policy areas being moved); the relatively early state of some policy proposals for the new regulations (and the need to further examine consistency with the new Act); the existence of a related review process to be carried out by FAO; etc. Consequently, an adapted approach was presented and agreed, but consistent with the fulfilment of the original terms of reference. Activities 4. The Project commenced in June. A preparatory meeting took place with the Fisheries Department on 13 June, and the first mission took place from 17 June – 6 July. Two further missions were organized, from 22 August to 13 September and from 30 September to 9 October. 5. The following key events were organised: a. Community Consultations were organised successfully in Sarteneja, San Pedro, Caye Caulker, Belize City, Hopkins, Placencia, Independence Village/Mango Creek and Punta Gorda. Approximately 300 persons attended the workshops, representing a wide cross section of the stakeholders including fisher folk, NGO's, sport fishermen, persons involved in tourism, members of the village council board, representatives from Fishermen cooperatives, and in numbers representing around 10% of all stakeholders. Project Funded by the European Union A project implemented by Poseidon ARM Ltd !"#$&% SUPPORT TO UPDATE THE FISHERIES REGULATIONS IN BELIZE b. National Review Workshop. A National Review Workshop was organised on 12 September, attended by over 60 stakeholders, mainly from the fishing sector but also including governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. In line with the agreed methodology, the national workshop focussed primarily on fishing community/industry and sought to review proposals on some key issues, as well as carry out a validation exercise in relation to the Fisheries Conservation Regulations. c. Senior Staff Review Workshop. A Senior Staff Review Workshop was organised, attended by 15 senior members of staff from the Fisheries Department and NGOs, as well as by Ms Karine Erikstein from FAO. The draft Regulations were reviewed in detail, and comments were provided by the Fisheries Department staff. Draft Regulations 6. The following draft Regulations were produced: a.

I By Andy Wood reasoned that the fishery would be quieter, but completely overlooked the travel implications. From a journey perspective it was, of course, anything but quiet on a workday morning. There was some sort of issue on the M27 that reduced traffic to a crawl, increasing the journey time to almost two and a half hours. However, on arriving at the fishery and seeing the river for the first time, that all became a distant memory. Despite the recent wet weather, the river was running crystal clear and the sun was shining, with virtually no wind. Probably less than perfect conditions for fishing, but one of those days when it’s simply sufficient to be out there and taking it all in. After a challenging drive up river – it felt like I was in it at times - where I got to I’ve wanted to fish the Lower Itchen for a while wondering whether my breakdown cover would because I love chalk streams.

Curtis1,*, Kara R. Wall1, Mark A. Albins2, Christopher D. Stallings1 1College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, USA 2University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL 36608, USA ABSTRACT: In marine ecosystems, little is known about how competition with invasive fishes may affect the resource use of native predators. Throughout the western Atlantic, invasive Indo-Pacific lionfishes (Pterois spp.) are likely to compete with native mesopredators such as the graysby Cephalopholis cruentata, an ecologically similar serranid. In conjunction with a before-after- control- impact lionfish removal experiment, this study measured whether graysby population size, diet, and condition varied in relation to cohabitant lionfish biomass. Lionfish, graysby, and prey popu- lations were surveyed and sampled along a contiguous reef ledge in Biscayne National Park, south Florida. Mesopredator diet was measured with stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) and gut con- tent analyses, and isotopic niches were used to compare patterns of inter- and intraspecific resource use diversity. The isotopic niches of graysby and lionfishes overlapped by 67%, suggest- ing similar population-level resource use. On sites with higher lionfish biomass, graysby isotopic niche was 34% smaller and overlapped 47% less with that of lionfishes, possibly indicating both a narrower breadth of resource use and associated interspecific niche segregation.
