Fishing monitoring

Local and recreational fishermen have been fishing in Zavora for years. For many locals, fishing is the main source of food and income. Unfortunately, the pressure from fishing and coastal development has rapidly risen all around the world, decreasing fish stocks.

In Zavora, fishing techniques have changed, particularly in the last few years. Now there is more netting and more longlinning. The aim of this project is to monitor changes in fishing techniques and identify potential threats for key marine species, such as manta rays, sea turtles, sharks and devil rays.

Land based monitoring is done once per week.
