REPORT OF THE REGIONAL WORKSHOP FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE
CARIBBEAN FOR PROJECT EP/GLO/201/GEF: Reduction of Environmental Impact
from Tropical Shrimp Trawling through the Introduction of By-catch Reduction Technologies
and Change of Management.
27 - 30 September 2004
Kapok Hotel, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
____________________________________________________________________________
OPENING CEREMONY
The Regional Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean was held at the Kapok Hotel, Port
of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 27 30 September 2004.
The Opening Ceremony was chaired by Dr Arthur Potts, Acting Director of Fisheries, Ministry
of Agriculture, Land and Marine Resources.
The opening address was delivered by Dr. John Pegus, Acting Permanent Secretary in the
Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Marine Resources, Trinidad and Tobago on behalf of the
Honorable Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Jarette Narine. Dr Pegus expressed the government of
Trinidad and Tobago's recognition of the need to ensure sustainable biodiversity of the marine
resources and reiterated its support for the Project. He concluded that the workshop should
provide an opportunity to move forward in achieving the objectives of the Project.
Mr David Bowen, FAO Regional Representative for Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and
Suriname addressed the meeting on behalf of the FAO and gave some brief remarks in which he
described the objectives of the trawl Project within the context of the FAO Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fisheries.
Dr Wilfried Thiele, International Project Co-ordinator, gave an overview of management
objectives of national shrimp trawl fisheries and developments under the Project in this regard.
The objective of this project is to reduce the amount of by-catch by 50% by the end of the project
and Dr Thiele reiterated the need globally for shrimp fishing countries to demonstrate their
willingness to participate in environmentally friendly fishing. He also emphasized the
importance of co-operation between the fishing industries, scientists and other stakeholders
within the project.
The workshop was formally opened by Dr Pegus and Dr Arthur Potts, Acting Director of
Fisheries, provided the closing remarks.
PRESENTATIONS
The workshop agenda is attached in Appendix 1 (see file on CD compiled at the workshop). The
main working language was English and there was an English-Spanish simultaneous
interpretation by members of the workshop when necessary. The general content of each
presentation, including information gleaned from the group discussions after each presentation is
provided in the following section.
Background of the Project and Responsible Fishing Technologies
Dr Thiele gave the background to the project and gave an overview of progress in each of the
main international regions in which the Project is being executed. He stated that non-
participating countries were invited to each of the regional workshops held for Latin America
and the Caribbean, Asia, Near East and Africa as a means of sharing the information gathered
under the project and to harmonise data collection and research activities in the respective
regions. A description of the various types of gear modifications that are being considered and
tested under the project was given. Dr Thiele stated that the execution of the project was
difficult in many countries primarily due to the marketability of by-catch and suggested that
economic incentives from the respective governments may encourage the introduction of the new
gear. It was again stressed that participation of the industry in Project activities was critical since
techniques that are not accepted by the industry will fail to be implemented.
Dr Thiele stated that the Project supports ongoing work by the FAO on by-catch reduction and
therefore activities will not finish after the end of the GEF funding since the FAO is committed
to the development and promotion of by-catch reduction technology on an international level.
Scientists will continue to research by-catch reduction technologies in response to the growing
environmental lobby for a global ban on bottom trawling. This Project is one opportunity to
gather scientific information to provide evidence to support bottom trawling since it is the most
efficient fishing method to harvest shrimp. The livelihood of fishermen must also be considered.
The FAO will ensure that all shrimp fishing countries benefit from lessons learnt under the
Project. Several countries asked to participate in the project, but according to the rules of the
financing agency GEF and FAO, they cannot become a project member, however they can
request technical assistance from FAO under TCP Projects.
A Guide on by-catch reduction technologies will be completed by FAO by the end of 2004 for
distribution to fishermen. In addition, a FAO Technical Report on survival rates of fish after
escaping trawl gear will soon be available.
Legal aspects related to by-catch reduction technologies
The legal aspects of by-catch reduction were presented by FAO Legal Representative, Mr Blaise
Kuemlangan. Mr Kuemlangan outlined why legislation is important to by-catch reduction
technologies. By-catch must be viewed from a global perspective and countries need to consider
their environmental laws and subsidiary legislation in addition to fisheries law when dealing with
the issues related to by-catch reduction. For instance, quite often, the export market often
influences the manner in which by-catch is legislated and the way in which by-catch issues are
regulated.
Mr Kuemlangan gave an overview of international law and soft law (Conventions) such as the
1982 UNCLOS, 1995 FAO Code of Conduct on Responsible Fisheries, the UN Fish Stocks
Agreement and the Biodiversity Convention. The presentation also focused on specific articles in
the FAO Code of Conduct with regards to by-catch reduction. Conservation and management
measures such as licensing regimes as the main means of limiting fishing effort were reviewed.
The structure of legislation was described and reference was made to the inclusion of
specifications for gear and fish sizes and the fact that legislation must be site specific. Globally,
administrative sanctions are being favoured over traditional criminal enforcement systems and
they also work by complimenting the export market. The role of monitoring and surveillance was
also discussed. Consultation with stakeholders ensured greater compliance with regulations.
National project activities by countries
The status of national shrimp fisheries and progress under the Project were presented by each of
the participating countries. Digital copies of the respective country reports were given to
workshop participants.
Cuba has an industrial shrimp fishery comprised of twin trawl vessels which trawl on the
southeastern shelf of the country. Subsequent to the period 1990-1999, production has decreased
due to a 37% decrease in fishing effort, with average shrimp and by-catch landings for the period
2000-2003 recorded at 1,417.5t and 3,774.2t respectively. The by-catch:shrimp ratio decreased
from 5.8 for the period 1990-1999 to a current value of 2.7. This decrease is due to concentration
of fishing activity in areas of higher shrimp abundance as well as the implementation of
measures related to the increase of the total closed season and the protection of nursery areas. A
shrimp trawl net (twin trawl) was designed with a 30% decrease in the total length of the body of
the net based on Mexico's design and tested. Results differed based on the environmental
conditions of the test site however in general they showed a 2-3% increase in shrimp catch and
no significant difference in by-catch retention. Trials utilizing the modified net with a "fish eye"
type BRD were also conducted, and results indicated a 3.1 % increment in the shrimp catch and a
15.2% escape of incidental fish catch.
Mexico has a shrimp fishing fleet of 2,412 registered vessels, of which 1,674 vessels using twin
trawls operate on the Pacific side and 738 vessels, using single trawls, trawl in the Gulf of
Mexico. Annual shrimp landings are estimated at 23,503t and 16,938t respectively for the two
areas. Main issues of concern are the high volume of by-catch and discards and the high
production cost as a result of the inefficiency of the old fleet's engine and gear design. These
problems have been addressed through the application of improved gear, primarily the knotless
netting material (SPECTRA) as well as new computerized engines. A new vessel by-back
programme funded by the Ministry of the Environment has been implemented and it is estimated
that 40-50 vessels have been removed from the Gulf of Mexico and plans are being made for the
removal of 20 vessels from the Pacific side.
Two research vessels operate on the Pacific coast and one in the Gulf of Mexico. Prototype nets
for the industrial vessels were constructed with the knotless mesh for the gear trials. The
estimated cost of the experimental nets was approximately eight times that of the traditional nets
however they have a longer lifespan. These nets can be use up to 14 fathoms but work best at 1-2
fathoms. There is currently no research using modified gear for artisanal vessels which operate in
the Sonora region.
Comparative tests in 2003 using traditional and modified trawl nets gave significantly favorable
results with a 19% increase in shrimp catch and a 43% reduction in by-catch. By-catch reduction
technologies were tested in 2004 and utilized single and double trawl nets and included
modifications to the TED. Results showed a general loss of both shrimp and by-catch. It is
mandatory to use BRDs in the protected areas and it is estimated that 100 vessels operate there
and are primarily fishermen who have participated in the research involving BRDs.
Trinidad and Tobago has a fleet of 126 vessels comprising 22 industrial trawlers. Estimated
landings for trawlers (2002) are 940t of shrimp, valued at 23.9m$TT and 1005t of by-catch
valued at 4.2m$TT. Available data indicates that the industrial trawlers have the smallest ratio of
by-catch to shrimp (0.6 to 1). However data for this fleet is limited. The project has been
presented to the general stakeholders in the trawl fishery and the National Steering Committee
was formed in 2004 comprising mainly representatives of the trawl industry. This committee will
serve as an important platform to coordinate data collection and trials for the project which
effectively commenced in 2004. Currently, project activities are focused on collection of catch,
species composition and discards data from commercial vessels.
Venezuela gave an overview of its shrimp fisheries, gear and estimated by-catch. Total annual
production from the shrimp fisheries was estimated at 9,978t of shrimp. However this amount is
not only caught with trawl nets but also include cast nets and flat beach seines. Testing of BRD's
(fish-eye) in both the artisanal and industrial fleets has also begun. Results from testing of BRDs
in the artisanal fleet indicated a favorable decrease of 41.1% of by-catch with a loss of 20.6% in
shrimp catches (FE-closed). Results of the industrial fleet (Margarita Island) demonstrated a
decrease from 4,500kg to 1,700 kg of non commercially important by-catch. Recommendations
include further BRD testing in the industrial fleet and consideration of other more viable
methods for the artisanal fleet.
Columbia gave an overview of its shrimp trawl fisheries operating on both the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts. 53 vessels operate from the Atlantic coast and on the Pacific coast the industrial
fleet decreased from 104 to 47 over the period 1990-2004. It is estimated that 80% of landings on
the Atlantic coast are from the industrial fleet while on the Pacific coast the artisanal fleet
accounts for 70% of the landings of shrimp. The vessels in the industrial fleet operating on the
Atlantic side use four trawl nets whereas those operating on the Pacific use two trawl nets. The
Marine and Coastal Research Institute (INVEMAR) is the executing agency for the Project.
National project activities commenced in 2004 when the LOA with FAO was signed and have
focused on the fishing technology of the shrimp fleets currently operating on both coasts.
Costa Rica provided a description of shrimp trawling activities. The commercial trawl fleets
comprises 3,230 vessels operating out of ports on the Pacific coast. Puntarenas is the main
fishing port from which a total of 1,787 vessels operate and it is also the port from which the
semi-industrial and industrial fleets operate. In 2002, landings from the trawl fleets averaged
1,034 tonnes and comprised 339 tonnes shrimp, 428 tonnes sardines and 267 tonnes of discards.
Landings of white shrimp showed a general decline which may be due to an increase in fishing
effort due to an increase in the number of vessels. National activities under the Project have
focused on the collection of information from the semi-industrial trawl fleet and preliminary data
on the species composition of discards, particularly with regards to species of no commercial
importance.
Shrimp Trawling Issues and experiences Non Project Countries
Brazil has a fleet of approximately 11,012 vessels comprising 10,500 artisanal and 512 industrial
trawlers. The industrial trawlers operate mainly on the southeast coast, but may also trawl on the
northeast coast of Brazil. The artisanal vessels trawl closer to shore mainly on the north coast of
Brazil however they may even trawl in the Amazon River basin. Total annual shrimp landings
for the industrial fleet are estimated at 18,000t, while the artisanal fleet contributes an estimated
10,500t. Investigations were done by two agencies CEPNOR and CEPENE with the objective of
reduction of by-catch without major losses in shrimp catches. Results were not presented.
Suriname has an extensive coastline (400km) and marine waters (1,060 sq km) but however
does not have adequate human and financial resources to adequately monitor and control its
fisheries. The industry is focused on shrimp production with an annual value estimated at US$60
million. The main target species is the pink-spotted shrimp, and to a lesser extent the brown
shrimp, targeted by 99 vessels and it is estimated that 27 vessels target the seabob. About 98% of
the fleet is operated by Japanese/Korean owned vessels. Within the trawl industry, the seabob
fleet is perceived to be responsible for seabed and habitat destruction in the trawl grounds which
negatively impacts on the other trawl fleets. It is estimated that 10-12 kg of fish is discarded per
kilogram of shrimp and 10% of by-catch is sold. The pressure on the finfish resources is very
high and attempts by an independent individual have been made to introduce BRDs but this was
not successful. During the workshop Suriname asked to participate in Project EP/GLO/201/GEF.
In Guatemala trawl fishery there are 48 industrial and 28 medium-scale vessels targeting shrimp
on the Pacific coast and 51 medium-scaled vessels operating on the Atlantic coast and
concentrated around Bahia de Amatique. Studies on the shrimp catches in Guatemala show a
general oscillation in shrimp abundance on the Pacific coast, fluctuating between 115 and 455
tonnes per trimester over the years 1991-2002. Landings in 2001 were estimated at 300 tonnes on
the Atlantic coast. Studies show that the landings of shrimp are strongly influenced by
environmental conditions with increased landings coinciding with times of higher rainfall and
lower temperatures.
Development and Discussions of Workplans
Dr Thiele made several recommendations based on the country presentations and decisions for
future work were agreed to after discussions were held among the participating countries to
develop coordinated activities.
1.
Workplans should be prepared for both artisanal and industrial fleets. It is easier to
implement BRD technology in industrial fisheries therefore efforts need to be concentrated on
the artisanal fleets such as those predominating in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
2.
It is recommended that Cuba and Mexico collaborate since both countries use similar
gear however Cuba has had limited success with the use of the fish eye getting only a 16%
reduction in by-catch. A technical expert will visit Cuba to make necessary proposals. Cuba must
request the purchase of new netting materials and a schedule must be agreed to for the
collaborative work.
3.
Mexico will provide technical assistance through the dispatch of a gear technologist to
Colombia. Colombia will organize two workshops (one on Pacific, one on the Atlantic Coast).
4.
Trinidad and Tobago will provide a description of artisanal and industrial gear to
Mexico for development of appropriate modifications.
5.
There are possibilities for co-operation between Mexico and Venezuela regarding the
industrial fleet.
6.
Mexico will provide an expert to work with Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago in
March 2005. Gear trials will be performed on artisanal nets used in the Orinoco delta and on the
inboard artisanal vessels operating in the Gulf of Paria.
7.
Suriname will purchase new trawl gear and perform appropriate tests.
8.
Recognising the by-catch problems in Suriname, Guyana and Brazil; it was
recommended that these countries should request FAO's technical assistance under TCP
arrangements.
Miscellaneous:
·
The FAO/ ICES Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behavior (FTFB), held
its next meeting on invitation of FAO in Rome from 18 to 22 April 2005. One of the
theme sessions will deal with selectivity and by-catch in Shrimp Trawls. A representative
from Latin America and the Caribbean will be invited to participate in this meeting as
well as the other regional groupings??? under Project EP/GLO/201/GEF.
·
Countries were also invited to participate in a `smart gear' fishing gear competition,
promoted by the WWF, in which the development of environmentally friendly gear will
be judged.
Field Study Tour
A study tour was made to two major landing sites for the trawl fishery in Trinidad and Tobago.
These were the National Petroleum (NP) Compound which is a major landing site for industrial
trawlers operating in the Gulf of Paria and Columbus Channel, and Otaheite which is a major
landing site at which artisanal trawlers operating in the south Gulf of Paria are based. The aim of
the field trip was to observe the gear used by each of these fleets and to observe the landings.
Due to the timing of the field trip, landings were only observed at Otaheite.
Project Implementation/Administrative Issues
Mr Janne Fogelgren, Project Operations Coordinator, FAO addressed several administrative
issues regarding the Project.
1. Progress
Reports
The Project Implementaion Agency, UNEP, has requested that all exceeding US$500 should be
listed in the 6 monthly Project Progress report, also indicating the Serial numbers of each.
2.
Draft Terms of Reference for the a National Legal Consultant to review national
legislation.
Countries are to submit curriculum vitae of three suitable candidates to the national FAO office
as soon as possible. The consultancy will be funded from each country's project budget
allocation, and the consultancy will be implemented in phases..
3. Project
Budget
Budget revisions should be submitted within one month He advised the countries that with
sufficient justification, funds which are not used as planned can be brought forward to future
years.
4.
Web Site for Project
Each country can provide information on their national project activities, technical reports,
progress reports for posting on the project web site soon to be released.
End of Meeting
The meeting ended with Dr A. Potts congratulating the participants and FAO to a successful and
constructive workshop. He was looking forward to follow the future progress of this important
project. FAO thanked Dr. Potter, and expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Agriculture, Land &
Marine Resources, Fisheries Division for organizing the workshop and the interesting field trip.
