Main
achievements

Three gliders were acquired to automatically monitor the project areas, collecting oceanographic data on parameters such as temperature, salinity, oxygen, and chlorophyll, among others. This data is used to develop vulnerability scenarios and assess the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and their fisheries resources. This information is available on the IMARPE website.

A project knowledge management strategy has been developed, which is linked to sectoral promotion in the field of fisheries and aquaculture in the face of climate change, aligned with the NDCs.

Completion of scientific studies and beginning of oceanographic monitoring.

Implementation of the EGC, training for actors involved in ABE.

Use of sustainable fishing gear to catch fish of adequate quality and quantity.

Sustainable oyster farming and repopulation of scallops.

10 initiatives for the promotion of sustainable tourism (gastronomic tourism, experiential fishing and marine crafts).

Formalization and sanitary authorization of 22 vessels for artisanal fishing.

Direct involvement of 55 women in associations for aquaponics and for the production of biofertilizers (Conversion of fishing and aquaculture waste into bioproducts).

More than 13,000 liters of biofertilizer have been sold, equivalent to 13 tons of waste that did not end up in the sea.

554 men linked to fishing activity, beneficiaries of the project.
