Abstract
With estimates of up to 50,000 fishers and one of the largest coastlines in the insular Caribbean, the marine fishery in Haiti remains one of the least documented in the region. Here, a large dataset of fishery landing surveys conducted between 2007 and 2014 and spanning approximately 150 km of coastline along southeast Haiti is rigorously analysed for the first time. The results of this analysis will shed light onto the socio-economic and biological components of the marine fishery in Haiti.
