ÚLTIMA NOTICIA🚨: #Panamá 🇵🇦 se ha comprometido publicamente a unirse a #FiTI! Panamá, conocido como el país de los dos océanos, ha marcado un hito en la región al ser el primero en Centroamérica en comprometerse con la implementación del Estándar de la Iniciativa de Transparencia Pesquera (Fisheries Transparency Initiative FiTI, por sus siglas en inglés). Este compromiso refuerza su liderazgo en la gestión sostenible de los recursos marinos en el Océano Pacífico y el Mar Caribe, promoviendo la transparencia y la participación en la toma de decisiones. El compromiso fue formalizado mediante la firma de un memorando de entendimiento entre la Autoridad de los Recursos Acuaticos de Panamá (ARAP) y FiTI. Este acuerdo establece una colaboración estratégica para fortalecer la gestión de los recursos pesqueros del país, aumentar la transparencia en la gobernanza pesquera y combatir la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (INDNR). Con este paso, Panamá sienta las bases para proteger sus ecosistemas marinos y responder a las necesidades del sector pesquero y las comunidades locales. El Estándar FiTI es el único marco internacionalmente reconocido para la divulgación de información sobre la gestión pesquera. A través de este estándar, FiTI apoya a los países costeros en mejorar la accesibilidad, credibilidad y utilidad de los datos, a la vez que fomenta la participación activa de los actores interesados en la gobernanza pesquera. 👇 🎉 ¡Bienvenido Panamá! ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> BREAKING NEWS 🚨: #Panama 🇵🇦 has publicly committed to join #FiTI! PANAMA CITY, October 9, 2024. Panama, known as the country of the two oceans, has marked a milestone in the region by being the first in Central America to commit to the implementation of the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) Standard. This commitment reinforces the country's leadership in the sustainable management of marine resources in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, promoting transparency and participation in decision-making. The commitment was formalized through the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (ARAP) and FiTI. This agreement establishes a strategic collaboration to strengthen the management of the country's fisheries resources, increase transparency in fisheries governance, and combat illegal fishing. With this step, Panama lays the foundations to protect its marine ecosystems and respond to the needs of the fisheries sector and local communities. The FiTI Standard is the only internationally recognized framework for the disclosure of information on fisheries management. Through this standard, FiTI supports coastal countries in improving the accessibility, credibility and usefulness of data, while encouraging the active participation of stakeholders in fisheries governance 👇 https://lnkd.in/gdhA93qP 🎉 Welcome Panama!

Transparency and multi-stakeholder collaboration for the sustainable management of marine fisheries
About us
Sustainable fisheries need transparency! The world’s fish stocks are facing an uncertain future. Poor fisheries governance is part of the problem, causing overexploitation as well as unfair benefit sharing. Various factors contribute to this, including setting catch quotas too high, sub-optimal allocation of subsidies and even corruption. Many states also face considerable difficulties in addressing illegal fishing and ensuring that the fishing sector reports timely and accurate catch data. While there are many aspects to achieve sustainable fisheries, the public availability of credible information is critical. Without transparency governments cannot function to their potential. Transparency of information nurtures knowledge and the sharing of ideas. It also deepens the understanding of the important nature of the fisheries sectors, as well as the challenges that exist. Yet, in many countries information on the fisheries sector is not available at all, nor is it shared widely. Moreover, the dissemination of information is often not timely, of insufficient quality or objectivity, or presented in ways that make it inaccessible to citizens. The Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) helps countries to overcome these challenges by providing internationallyrecognized procedures in order to achieve and maintain high levels of transparency on the management of the marine fisheries sector and the activities of fishers and fishing companies. The FiTI is a unique initiative! It is the only global effort that promotes a level playing field in fisheries through transparency and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
