Yesterday, February 29th, we were visited by members of the Dorsal de Nasca National Reserve, who received training on "Biology and sea turtle bycatch mitigation measures".

The Dorsal de Nasca National Reserve is the first purely marine protected natural area in Peru.

During the project “Enhacing monitoring capacities in free-divers in northern Peru” we aimed characterizing this fishery through comprehensive interviews; carry workshops to share relevant information; and to identify key divers willing to report their catches into the mobile app “Appescar".

We share with you an identification guide for common marine species that fishing vessels interact with in Peru. This guide was prepared mainly for fishermen, for that reason some pictures come from bycatch specimens.

As part of the project "Assessment of bycatch impact of sea turtle hatchlings in nesting sites in Peru", we have placed signs on nesting beaches in Lobitos - Piura, in order to raising people's awareness, prevent the circulation of motorized vehicles and unsupervised pets.

Women play a vital role in fishing communities around the world. Through the project “El Ñuro Women against Climate Change” we promote the participation and leadership of women in sustainable economic activities other than fishing, as adaptation to climate change.

Bycatch refers to the capture or interaction with animals that are not part of the target catch during the fishing trip. These unintentionally captured animals are often injured or may die.
