Conservation and management of coastal marine invertebrate fisheries in Latin America
The aim of the network is to document and disseminate new tools for conservation, management and governance of artisanal fisheries in Latin America, with special emphasis on coastal invertebrate fisheries. The network is focused on developing a set of guiding principles for achieving best practices with regard to an integrated and adaptive co-management as a way of governance, contributing to innovation management strategies of a system under multiple pressures (e.g. global changes in coastal occupation or climate variability).
