    Description
    Description
    El objetivo del proyecto es generar una base de informacin cientfica sobre la dinmica de las redes alimentarias (ecologa trfica) y conectividad gentica de especies de inters para la pesca turstica y deportiva. Esta informacin permitir mejorar el manejo y la conservacin de estas especies, incluyendo pez vela, marlines, dorado, pez gallo, robalos, pargos, jureles, atunes, wahoo, sbalo, entre otros, que son la base de esta importante actividad econmica que provee empleos y dinamiza las economas en las costas.
    Metodologa: un programa de becas impulsado por FECOP y GFTR, con una base competitiva, selecciona las mejores propuestas de investigacin por su mrito cientfico y la contribucin a la conservacin y manejo de especies de importancia turstica y deportiva. Los estudiantes pueden recolectar muestras de tejidos y otros datos en viajes de pesca turstica o deportiva regulares, especialmente durante el perodo alto de visitacin, o durante torneos, y adems participan en el Programa Internacional de Marcado de Peces de Gray FishTag Research (http://grayfishtagresearch.org ), marcando y liberando los peces capturados en los viajes de pesca. La informacin del marcaje se ingresa en una base de datos y las muestras de tejidos se analizan en el laboratorio. El costo de los proyecto de los proyectos de investigacin se cubren con una contribucin en efectivo de FECOP, para la mayor parte del trabajo de anlisis, el costo del viaje de pesca lo cubren los turistas que rentan las embarcaciones tursticas, y quienes dan su permiso para que aborde el becario o becaria, y la disponibilidad de viajes de pesca la busca el personal de GFTR y FECOP en Costa Rica. Se opera desde Crocodyle Bay Resort en Puerto Jimnez, Marina Pez Vela, y se expandir en el futuro hacia Guanacaste.
    Seguimiento: el programa tiene un equipo de seguimiento conformado por un Steering Committee de becas con participacin de FECOP, GFTR, y la Academia, y los estudiantes deben contar con asesores cientficos o acadmicos en sus respectivas universidades, y contar con apoyo para el uso de laboratorio y equipos. Los estudiantes preparan informes tcnicos y generarn una o varias publicaciones cientficas. El proyecto dio inicio en con tres proyectos de investigacin y participacin de dos estudiantes provenientes de la Universidad de Costa Rica y la Universidad Latina de Costa Rica. Las becas de investigacin son por un mximo de 12 meses. La informacin producida se compartir con los usuarios de la pesca deportiva, con la academia y las autoridades de Gobierno con competencia en el manejo pesquero, la conservacin y del turismo.
