8. Fishing reduction efforts by limiting the length of bottom-set gillnets

During JICA’s COGEPAS project activities in Lompoul, which ran from 2009 to 2013, it was decided that the length of gillnet was to be reduced by 10% and a bottom gillnet fishery management plan was developed in December 2010. The Bottom Gillnet Resource Management Committee was established to ensure that the reduced gear is returned to the Fishing Centre.
