Plan for demersal fishery |11 November 2014

Fishermen, Boat Owners Association, businesses, partners and stakeholders involved in demersal fishery are meeting to contribute in the development of the management plan for this type of fishery. Two workshops for the purpose have been organised: the first one was held at the Seychelles Fishing Authority’s training room and the second at the Baie Ste Anne Baha’i Centre.

This second series of workshops is vital as stakeholders will work to draft and define the purpose, goals, objectives, management approach of the management plan. The workshop is being facilitated by two Australian consultants from C₂O Fisheries of Australia, David Welch and Brigid Kerrigan.

The draft plan should be submitted by February 2015.
