Expenditure And Willingness-To-Pay Survey Of Caribbean Billfish Anglers: Summary Report

This circular summarizes the methods and results of a survey designed to estimate angler expenditures and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for billfish recreational fishing in the Caribbean. The survey conducted in 2017 found that the value of billfish recreational fishing and expenditures by recreational fishers are very high in the region. The results demonstrate that there is the potential to raise conservation funds from this resource user group. This study estimated that one more billfish caught in the Caribbean, regardless of the disposition of that catch, was worth USD 761, with USD 1 494 for an additional trophy fish caught.

Experiences of the Belize Spawning Aggregation Working Group. Proceedings of the Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute. 59:455-462. Gibson, J., R.F. Pott, G. Paz, I. Majil and N. Requena. 2007.

This paper chronicles the history of the Belize Spawning Aggregation Working Group from its inception following a national
survey of many of Belize’s Nassau grouper spawning sites conducted during the 2000 – 2001 aggregation period. It
documents how the Group evolved and developed its objectives, and highlights its main achievements, one of which was the
passage of legislation that provided full protection to 11 spawning sites and introduced a closed season for the Nassau
grouper. The Group was formed in response to the drastic decline in numbers of spawning Nassau groupers, which was
dramatically brought to the attention of many concerned organizations at a historic workshop held in July 2001 in Belize
City. The Group assumed the responsibility of taking action to stem the decline. Its success has depended to a large extent
on its diverse membership, which is drawn from government agencies, NGOs and the private sector. The invaluable
contribution made by many fishers, who unselfishly shared their traditional knowledge of spawning banks with researchers
and managers, was also a major factor in the Group’s success and the protection of many spawning sites. Members are
interested in sharing their experience with other similar groups that are being developed within the Mesoamerican reef
region.

Fact Sheet – Pelagic Sargasssum Influx in the Wider Caribbean

Massive quantities of pelagic sargassum occurred throughout the Caribbean in 2011, impacting aquatic resources, fisheries, shorelines, waterways, and tourism. Similar events have occurred since then, with a particularly heavy influx of sargassum observed during 2015. This Fact Sheet seeks to share the state of knowledge about the sargassum influx and to promote the adoption of best management practices.
