Abstract

Capacity development, a process by which an organization or institution strives to improve the skills of its professional staff, is often cited as a principal need for strengthening fisheries management in the Caribbean region. Fisheries resource managers indicate that skills desired to enhance their organization’s capacity include: i) Fisheries management and policy planning, ii) Data collection and analysis methods (quantitative/qualitative), iii) Geographic Information systems and geo-spatial technologies, and iv) Fisheries stock assessment.
