Updating Suriname's capture fisheries legal framework

Brief Description:

The project was the development of a strengthened legal framework that would enable stakeholders and relevant actors to manage the fisheries sector more efficiently and sustainably and that would be implemented by stakeholders and other actors, including the Government. The project achieved its objective by supporting the Government to build capacity among key stakeholders in fisheries legislation, in order to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. It involved stakeholders in the legislative process through an inception workshop, field consultations, a legal expert group and a validation workshop.
