Fisheries

This action guide is the culmination of a four-year IUCN project on the convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the international trade regime. The point of departure for the project was the assumption that both the CBD and the World Trade Organization (WTO) represent regimes whose successful implementation is necessary in order to achieve sustainable development.

This document reports on a project for the co-management and valorization of fisheries resources, carried out by IUCN Guinea-Bissau since 1991 (Rio Grande de Buba region). It aims to provide a summary analysis of the approach taken by the project and its achievements, in order to provide a set of guidelines and lessons learned which will enable replication of the project in other sites.
