For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Over the past decade or so, you may have heard fishermen report that there are dwindling fish stocks. They say that they have to go farther and their catch is smaller. So to ensure that the livelihoods of thousand of Belizeans and the industry are secured, resource managers have implemented a programme called managed access. The management tool is being used to recover and strengthen vital fisheries resources. The Belize Fisheries Department has been working along with the fishing community and N.G.O. partners – including the Environmental Defense Fund and Wildlife Conservation Society – to implement rights-based fishing in Belize. One of the N.G.O. partners in the managed access programme is the Belize Audubon Society which has been working to ensure the sustainability of the industry. Reporter Andrea Polanco tells us more.
