Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) Guidelines Protocol
Background:
This project aims to incorporate the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) into the Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy (CCCFP). It runs from Feb to Nov 2017, and uses a participatory process to engage fisherfolk, fisheries officers and other stakeholders in drafting a protocol to the CCCFP by exchanging information and influencing policy.

CERMES Partners:
Caribbean Network of Fisherfolk Organisations (CNFO), Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI), and Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM). The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) assists the project.
