Coastal Fisheries Initiative - Latin America (CFI-LA)

#SDGAction43791
    Description
    Description
    The project is part of the Coastal Fisheries Initiative programme (CFI) which aims to motivate a change shift towards an integrated, inclusive and sustainable approach to fisheries management and development. CFI will contribute to address the global issue of weak governance as a root cause of overfishing and degradation of fishery resources and coastal and marine biodiversity. CFI has three projects in Indonesia, Latin America (this project) and West Africa, a technical assistance facility to develop a pipeline of investable projects (CFI Challenge Fund) and a mechanism for global coordination and knowledge management (Global Partnership Project).
    The present project addresses the key issue of weak fisheries governance in coastal fisheries in Ecuador and Peru, focusing mainly on artisanal and small-scale fisheries. These fisheries have had an uncontrolled expansion driven mainly by increasing market demand, open-access policies, deficient or lack of regulation, and deficient surveillance and enforcement. Existing fishing pressure threatens valuable fishery resources and coastal and marine biodiversity. The project objective is to demonstrate holistic, ecosystem-based management and improved governance of coastal fisheries in the South-East Pacific. This is in line with CFI theory of change and directly contributes to the program’s objective of demonstrating holistic ecosystem-based management and improved governance of coastal fisheries. For this, the project strategy is (1) to establish communities of practice with fishers, stakeholders and authorities of both countries, (2) implement hands-on trials in fishery-specific (seven fisheries) and area-specific cases (two sites), (3) systematically document, exchange and disseminate experience and lessons within each country, between both countries and among participants of CFI, and (4) apply lessons to improve existing fisheries governance schemes or to implement new ones. The project has three components. Component 1 will contribute to improve the enabling conditions for fisheries governance in seven coastal fisheries (five in Ecuador, two in Peru). In addition, the limiting factors faced by Peruvian Regional Governments to administer marine artisanal fisheries will be analyzed and trial actions for capacity building will be implemented in the regional government of Tumbes and Piura. Component 2 will focus on improve the enabling conditions for coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP). For this, pilots on CMSP will be implemented in the Gulf of Guayaquil (Ecuador) and Sechura bay (Peru). Component 3 will be the backbone of the learning process and will support the communities of practice of the project. It will focus on exchanging lessons and best practice among stakeholders within each country, among both countries and with global partners of the CFI. This component will facilitate to learn from the other CFI projects, to make available the experience from Ecuador and Peru, and to measure the advance with regards to the CFI theory of change.
    The project started in October 2017 with the subscription of PRODOC by the implementing partners of Peru and Ecuador. It has a duration of 4 years and a binational budget that amounts to USD6,588,991.
    Expected Impact

    El proyecto generará las condiciones habilitantes mejoradas para la gobernanza de siete pesquerías costeras y para la planificación espacial marina y costera en Ecuador y Perú, con un enfoque de gestión basada en ecosistemas haciendo que las pesquerías sean sostenibles y asegurando que producen beneficios sociales y económicos a los pescadores y sus familias, sin afectar al buen estado de los ecosistemas marino costeros. También se espera que las lecciones y buenas prácticas extraídas de los ejercicios en comunidades de práctica para mejorar la gobernanza pesquera y el ordenamiento espacial marino y costero, sean útiles para otros países en América Latina y el Caribe, y otras regiones del mundo.
    Las acciones del proyecto contribuyen a la conservación de los ecosistemas del litoral costero como los manglares, incluida su diversidad biológica, a fin de mejorar su capacidad de proporcionar beneficios esenciales para el desarrollo sostenible, relacionándose con el ODS #15. Además, se relaciona con el ODS #14 contribuir a la meta 14.5 de conservar al menos el 10% de las zonas costeras y marinas, de conformidad con las leyes nacionales y el derecho internacional y sobre la base de la mejor información científica disponible. También, gracias a la transversalización del enfoque de género en el proyecto, éste contribuye al ODS #5, al trabajar para asegurar la participación plena y efectiva de las mujeres y la igualdad de oportunidades de liderazgo a todos los niveles decisorios del sector de la pesca artesanal. Contribuye al ODS#2 con las acciones para mejorar los ingresos de los pescadores artesanales, especialmente las mujeres, mediante el acceso a créditos para fortalecer su actividad en la cadena de valor de la pesca artesanal.
