Updated workplan

Workplan published 

Data on gonads and size continues to be collected and organized so that they can be adjusted to the statistical models applied to establish exploitation strategies. 

The technical report titled "Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) Scale in National Marshes Nayarit" outlines the training initiative on digital capture of fishing effort logs; a total of 60 fishermen and youth were trained, focusing on utilizing digital applications for capturing commercial species data in the Marismas Nacionales Nayarit and Southern Sinaloa regions. 

The cooperative societies of the FIP continue to carry out compliance enforcement in their fishing zones in coordination with the board of directors and cooperative member. 

Fishery monitoring remains ongoing.

The secondary analysis of the LB-SPR was conducted and results were compiled into a presentation; the results from the analysis concluded that the fishery primarily targets juvenile and pre-adult organisms. The priority for the technical group will focus on the development of the exploitation strategy. 

The academic working group held a meeting to discuss the analysis of the biological monitoring data and the analysis of the reproduction analysis of Robalo garabato

The National School of Fishing Engineering (ENIP) presented its results to the academic group of the gonad analysis study to estimate the reproductive season of white snook in the Marismas Nacionales area.

The first analysis of the LB-SPR model was conducted and it was determined that a second analysis should be conducted

Letter sent to CONAPESCA requesting the formation of the FMP monitoring committee for Sea Bass, Snappers and Corvina in Marismas

Technical report produced based on ongoing data collection

Meeting held between the University of Natividad & Pronatura; the group discussed ongoing monitoring activities and compared data collection

Monitoring and surveillance activities are ongoing; logbook data continues to be collected

Logbook data continues to be collected and updated to inform management measures, including total catch, number of fishing trips and main species caught 

Monitoring and surveillance patrols and inspections were carried out in July, September and in November within the Marismas Nacionales Nayarit

Two meetings have been carried out with the academic group; preliminary results of the estimation of the L50 were analyzed based on the data obtained in the field

The collection of gonads continues to determine the stages of maturity and establish a minimum catch size.

The monitoring of snook, snapper and croaker is being carried out; data is updated in the logbooks

Fishing Management Plan for Robalos, snappers and corvinas in Marismas Nacionales Nayarit and South of Sinaloa published

2020 monitoring data was obtained and analyzed to estimate secondary species; an analysis was done on species captured in the fishing gear

Follow-up meeting held on the evaluation of the Scribble snook population 

An inspection and surveillance meeting was attended in the municipality of San Blas - confirming that fisheries policy in inspection and surveillance is no longer the responsibility of CONAPESCA

Analysis of snook sizes in the FIP coverage area has been produced 

The monitoring of sizes and the collection of gonads carried out by the ENIP is ongoing

The Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture was held

Analysis undertaken to evaluate major and minor secondary species with the database information available up to February 2020

Fisheries inspeciton and surveillance meeting held

Analysis conducted for C. viridis- the evaluation of the size of the first catch L50% was carried out. The results will be reviewed to determine the mesh size for the catch of snook

Report produced on progress being made with the rehabilitation of lagoons and estuaries in the Marismas area.

Meeting held to review the monitoring protocol for obtaining otolith gonads from sea bass, snappers and curvines in the Marysmas Nacionales Narayit biosphere reserve

Anaylsis undertaken to evaluate the percentage of main secondary species 

The annual report on the registration of information on fishery catches was prepared, including the incidents that occurred

A proposal was submitted to the government to finance upcoming trainings. Meanwhile, trainings have continued on various topics. 

The FIP working  group continues to define restrictions on fishing gear to increase net size and/or use only hook & line.

Presentation given at the FIP meeting, which reports the replacement of engines

Letter was sent to the fishing authorities to request information on the status of the publication of the Fisheries Management Plan.

Three meetings were held to install inspection and surveillance subcommittees.

A tabase built which can be consulted  that contains the monitoring and studies With the aim of having this information available in the specific case that is needed for the management and improvement of the White snook fishery.

Appeal letter for  for inspection and surveillance by the state government addressed to the federal fishing authorities

The monitoring studies including parameters to be measured have been identified and put into a database 

First meeting was held with INAPESCA; the government fishing institution responsible for carrying out stock assessments of fisheries; in order to coordinate the work to define the stock assessment method. 

Proposed management plan sent to and received by stakeholders 

Increase to PI 3.2.1; Explicit short and long-term objectives are in place for P1 and this is enough for an increase in PI 3.2.1. score

Increase to PI 1.2.4; Preassessment has been updated and a RBF has been conducted for P1 

Increase to PI 3.2.2; the decision-making process responds to serious issues identified in relevant research, monitoring, evaluation and consultation, in a transparent, timely and adaptive manner and take some account

Increase in PI 3.2.1 - the White Snook, Snappers and Corvinas Fishery Management Plan,  the official tool for the specific management of the fishery  was recently published and  explicitly contains short and long-term objectives, which are consistent with Principles 1 and 2 of the MSC standard

FIP reports highlight the designaton of the three initila refuges and the expansion to other sites  

A new standardized logbook was created and implemented with the necessary fields to capture the information to be able to carry out the stock assessment

Increase to PI 2.5.1; Preassessment has been updated and UoAs have been determined to be highly unlikely to disrupt the key elements underlying ecosystem structure.

Increase to PI 2.2.1; Preassessment has been updated and the PSA conducted demonstrates that all secondary main species received >80 score from the analysis
