Transfer Technologies

One best practice technology transfer project is currently being undertaken in Latin America with Ecuador, Peru and Columbian artisanal longline fleets targeting tuna and mahimahi.

The Council is also involved in the rehabilitation of the South Pacific Regional Environmental Programme's Turtle Research Database System (TREDS) to manage and consolidate the wealth of data being collected throughout the Pacific Rim.

Reports from the Latin America Best Practice Technology Transfer Project:

• Third Year Final Report: Bycatch Reduction in the Artisanal Longline Fleets of the Eastern Pacific 2004-2008

• Second Year Final Report: Year Two of the Eastern Pacific Regional Sea Turtle Program, 2005-2006

• First Year Final Report: Working with the Ecuadorian Fishing Community to Reduce the Mortality of Sea Turtles in Longline Fisheries: Year One, March 2004 to March 2005
