Summary
The project will put the Government of the Virgin Islands in a stronger position to manage fisheries sustainably, by strengthening fisherfolk capacity, governance, infrastructure and skills, including the capture, storage, analysis and interpretation of fisheries evidence data. It will achieve this by creating a formalised network of fisherfolk, reviewing and consolidating the existing evidence base, and developing a geographic information systems (GIS) database to bring together existing and future fisheries data.
