CRFM Consultancy Report on Review of Existing Policy, Legal and Institutional Arrangements for Governance and Management of Flyingfish Fisheries in the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem
Many of the marine resources in the Caribbean are considered to be fully or overexploited. A Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis identified three priority transboundary problems that affect the CLME: unsustainable exploitation of fish and other living resources, the degradation and modification of natural habitats, pollution and contamination. The fourwing flyingfish fishery is the single most important small pelagic fishery in the southern Lesser Antilles. It is a shared resource, which has been traditionally exploited by seven different States, i.e. Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago. With expanding fleet capacity and limited cooperation among the States exploiting the flyingfish, there is concern that the resource may become overfished. While the flyingfish fishery is a directed fishery, it is at the same time part of a multi-species, multi-gear fishery, which also targets regional large pelagic species.

CRFM Consultancy Report on Stakeholder Identification and Analysis of the Flyingfish Fishery in the Wider Caribbean – CRFM Technical and Advisory Document No. 2012 / 7
The flyingfish fishery is the most economically important small pelagic fishery in the southern Lesser Antilles. There is concern among scientists and policy-makers in the region that limited cooperation among the states and expanding fishing fleets have resulted in over-exploitation of the resource. The Caribbean Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME) project was developed to address those governance needs in several fisheries in the Caribbean including the flyingfish fishery. The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) is responsible for undertaking the management of the flyingfish study.

CRFM Consultancy Report on Stakeholder Identification and Analysis of the Large Pelagic Fishery in the Wider Caribbean – CRFM Technical & Advisory Document – Number 2012 / 9
The large pelagic fishery is one of the most highly exploited in the region and has one of the more complex governance structures. Several organisations are involved in management including the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) that manages all species of commercial and nutritional value to the region. Not all Caribbean States are members of ICCAT. There is therefore no harmonised governance of the fishery.

CRFM Fishery Report -2010 Volume 1, Suppl. 1 – National Reports . Report of Sixth Annual Scientific Meeting – Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 07-16 June 2010.
The Sixth Annual Scientific Meeting took place during 07-16 June 2010 in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. During this Meeting, CRFM Resource Working Groups examined data from the following fisheries: the reef fisheries of Montserrat, especially the red hind (Epinephelus guttatus) and queen triggerfish (Balistes vetula) fisheries; and the dolphinfish fishery of the Eastern Caribbean. The LPWG also reviewed blackfin tuna data available from the ICCAT database, and discussed country-specific details of landings information.

CRFM Fishery Report 2011 Volume 2 – Fishery Management Advisory Summaries. Report of Seventh Annual Scientific Meeting–Kingstown, St.Vincent and the Grenadines,16–24 June 2011
The Seventh Annual Scientific Meeting took place during 16 - 24 June 2011 in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. During this Meeting, CRFM Resource Working Groups examined data from the following fisheries: the flyingfish fishery of the Eastern Caribbean, the seabob fishery of Suriname, and the shrimp trawl fishery of Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. The SGWG also reviewed catch and effort data from the white shrimp fishery in Kingston Harbour, Jamaica. The LPWG conducted several activities: exploration of catch and effort data from the blackfin tuna fishery in St. Lucia, Vincent & the Grenadines and Trinidad & Tobago; review of a report on the fishing fleets targeting dolphinfish, flyingfishes and blackfin tuna in Martinique and Guadeloupe; review of a report on blackfin tuna catch, catch rates, and size structure from Venezuelan fisheries; and completed the first part of an ERAEF analysis of the Eastern Caribbean dolphinfish fishery. This year’s CLWG meeting completed a peer review of a Caribbean spiny lobster stock assessment that was conducted intersessionally in The Bahamas during 2010. The RSWG did not meet in 2011.
