National Platform for Sustainable Fisheries of Large Pelagic Fishes
The National Platform for Sustainable Fisheries of Large Pelagics was convened by the Government of Costa Rica, with support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Its objective is to promote dialogue between actors and stakeholders in the fishing sector, to improve its social and environmental conditions, implementing environmental sustainability standards and seeking to improve the living conditions of fishermen's families. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, the Ministry of Environment and Energy, representatives of longline fishermen, recreational fishermen, industries, exporters, traders, government authorities, the academia, and non-governmental organizations participated in the discussions. Although the roundtable sought to achieve a multi-sectoral agreement and encourage joint actions among the various participants, several of them withdrew from the roundtable because they were dissatisfied with its progress.
