PIMS 6591-GLO-Mainstreaming Sustainable Marine Fisheries Value Chains into the Blue Economy of the Canary Current and the Pacific Central American Coastal Large Marine Ecosystems

About this project

The GMC2 project will aim to advance the transformation of the seafood market and to generate learning to be useful worldwide. The project contributes to confront the overexploitation of marine fishery resources, which is produced by three main causes: (1) the increasing global demand for seafood, (2) a deficient management of the fisheries that receive pressure from the markets, and (3) insufficient measures to protect key biodiversity elements of the marine environment (e.g., nurseries, breeding and feeding grounds, ETP species). The core of the project theory of change is that if the buyers integrate sustainability and ethical considerations into their demand for seafood, then the suppliers will be driven to comply with these market requirements and, therefore, they will implement improvements in their own operations and will encourage advances in the fisheries management framework like stronger fisheries governance and better conservation and management measures. These changes will improve fisheries production and the wellbeing of fishing communities that will, finally, contribute to have healthy marine ecosystems and sustainable livelihoods of fishing-dependent communities. The project objective is to mainstream ecological and social aspects of sustainability to foster sustainable fisheries production and improved wellbeing of coastal communities in support of emerging Blue Economies in the Canary Current and the Pacific Central American Coastal Large Marine Ecosystems…
