Resumen
Descripción
The Coral Triangle region of Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most biologically diverse, economically productive and potentially vulnerable marine zones. Growing threats from pollution and major ecosystem change are a particular concern in the region, as well as the untargeted capture of fish and non-fish species (commonly called bycatch and discards). The degradation of the marine environment and depletion of fishery resources threaten biological sustainability and diversity, as well as food security and livelihoods. The project aims to protect aquatic resources and stocks in order to maintain and enhance biodiversity in five countries in the region (Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam), through the application of strategies and technologies for fisheries bycatch management.
