BRAVO Scores BRAVO: Executive Summary What:A pilot project by OFCF Japan will be done to train dynamite fishermen, which from interview last April shows that dynamite fishermen use dynamite because the have not nets and or other sustainable fishing methods to use. Who: President of the Federated States of Micronesia requested Japan to do something for the sake of the dynamite, keeping in mind that the dynamites used are taken from the Japanese WWII wrecks. When:Pilot project will start next year January. (I still need to find out more from the Oversea Fisheries Cooperative Foundation) How:From previous interview with a few dynamite fishermen. The OFCF representative has decided to do a pilot project where they will gather dynamite fishermen and train them on how to use ringnet and purseine to fish the pelagic species (this are the fish species that fishermen usually dynamite). This will be monitored by the Department of Marine Resources. Feasibility Score: Impact Score:

They don’t have the certain types of nets that catches the certain type of fish. The OFCF realized that that was the top reason that dynamite fishermen told him, so he also asked them if OFCF provided the nets should they stop from using dynamite? The agreed too. In words I can say yes, there will be an impact. 2 Impact sustainability 1 = The conservation impact goal is unlikely to be sustained in the long-term; 4 = The impact goal should be viable in the long-term The pilot project will be implemented for a year, 3 Average Score 2.5 Serena BRAVO Detail Impact and Metrics (1 of 2)

They have not communicate with each other. (There is a lack of information about this project) No communications between these Fisheries departments can result in delay of this project. Department of Marine Resources stated that the OFCF representative interviewed a few dynamite fishermen. (Getting all the dynamite fishermen will be hard, so if they give only a few dynamite fishermen the alternative fishing method and leave the rest dynamite fishing will still continue. Fishermen might refuse to come to meetings and training, thinking that they will be turned in to the Police Department. Dynamite fishing will not stop if only few of the dynamite fishermen are given the new nets to fish. AG office never deal with reported dynamite fishing cases. If this doesn’t work, and it is not being enforced from the AG office. (Law should be enforced by the government). Dynamite fishermen can be very violent when they are being dealt with.
