Abstract:
"The main goals of the workshop were to i) conduct a preliminary analysis of available datasets collected up to June 2018, ii) build local capacity for analysis of fisheries-dependent datasets and EAFM, and iii) share preliminary findings with relevant stakeholders. Initial fisheries-dependent datasets collected in Yap since December 2017 were analyzed. Basic queries were explored alongside several local stakeholders, including estimations of overall landings, dynamics of landings, catch composition, size-frequencies, and location of fishing activities In addition to 2017- 2018 datasets, overtime changes in the fishery were also explored by comparing the new data with limited datasets collected in 2008. Lastly, updated status and results from preliminary analysis conducted during the workshop were shared with fisheries stakeholders during a meeting hold at YPACAP conference room. Presentations from Javier Cuetos-Bueno (TNC) and Anthony Yalon (YAPCAP) were introduced to community representatives, government officials, fishers, and other stakeholders. Following presentations, discussions regarding the current project, and preliminary results were had. Within, initial discussion regarding potential management strategies for selected species were maintained, highlighting the wiliness to consolidate holistic management regimes in Yap, building upon the successful Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Network."
