National Fisheries Forums of the Gulf of Honduras
The National Fisheries Forums of the Gulf of Honduras are spaces for dialogue between representatives of the government, non-governmental organizations, and representatives of the fishermen from different departments of the country. The issues they address in these participatory spaces are related to improving fishing practices, presenting and analyzing scientific research results that have been carried out in the Honduran Caribbean to generate knowledge between the fishing sector, among other topics. In 2015, the 6th National Fisheries Forum of the Gulf of Honduras took place in Tela, Department of Atlántida. An essential part of this event was to discuss the agreements and proceed to prepare and sign the "Joint Declaration of Participants at the 6th National Fisheries Forum of the Gulf of Honduras."
