Reducing Bycatch in Offshore Commercial Fisheries
Stakeholder Perspectives on Mitigation Measures
Bibliographic Data
Reducing fisheries bycatch is a global challenge, with social factors playing a significant role in the adoption of mitigation measures (MMs). This study investigates these factors within Argentina’s offshore commercial bottom trawl fleet, where research remains limited. Through a qualitative approach, 29 interviews with key stakeholders were conducted to explore perceptions of bycatch and MMs. Analysis revealed four main barriers to MMs uptake: perceptions of cumbersomeness, ineffectiveness, lack of an adequate control system, and Argentine cultural influences. Participants emphasized the need for improved governance strategies, collaboration among stakeholders, and tailored educational programs to enhance MMs uptake. Additionally, effective communication, trust-building, and incentives emerged as essential elements for fostering the use of MMs
