Caribbean Fisheries Co-Management ( CARIFICO ) Project

 

To promote the fisheries resource management in the Caribbean region, the Caribbean Community (hereinafter referred to as “CARICOM”) member states agreed to inaugurate the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (hereinafter referred to as “CRFM”) in March 2003. In response to the request from the CRFM member countries, GOJ through JICA implemented a technical cooperation project on “Formulation of Master Plan on Sustainable Use of Fisheries Resources for Coastal Community Development in the Caribbean” (hereinafter referred to as the “Study”) from 2009 to 2012. The Final Report of the Study proposed (1) to establish practical co-management models for sustainable use and management of the fisheries resources, (2) to promote participatory resource management and development toward co-management, and (3) to formulate and strengthen the regional network by sharing the local expertise and lessons learned in each country.
