  2. Queen Conch Fishing Description

  3. Landings (m-t)

  4. Consumption and Trade Domestic Comsuption (ASPC) 10 - 16 m-t/year

  5. Closed areas (San Bernardo, Rosario, Queena) Annual TAC Individual Commercial Permits (Quota distribution) Artisanal Collective TAC Closed Season (Jun 1 – Oct 31) Minimum Size (100 g clean meat; 225g unclean meat) SCUBA or Hookah prohibited Controlled exports meat, shells , pearls (CITES) Fishery Management

  6. Objectives (Since 2007) To approach an Ecosystem-Based Management which offers the possibility of sustaining conch fisheries by addressing aspects of conch biology that directly support production and are otherwise overlooked in quota-based management. To be successful applying of the Non Detrimental Findings procedures for the Queen Conch, according to the CITES criteria. QUEEN CONCH EBM

  7. Queen Conch Surveys

  8. Spatial Status Stock

  9. Applying 8% Rule Using the rule of 8% harvest at stock sizes (densities) below that of MSY is equivalent to adopting a strategy of constant fishing mortality (Medley, 2008, Appeldoorn 2010). This has the effect of reducing catch proportionally as density declines. In addition, MPA zones, bank size, Illegal catch, juvenal recruitment, habitat, and deep are considered. Additional regulations Temporal Closures (Adaptive TAC System) Permanent Closed Areas. Limited Fishing Effort (boats and divers) EBM& Stock Assessment

  10. Actual Status Stock

  11. Reproductive Strategy (Atypical Annual Cycle) Pathogenic Parasites & Bacteria Genetic Connectivity Biological studies Studies and Modeling larvae

  12. Translocation, Ranching and Repopulation Acoustic Telemetry Conservation Environmental Education

  13. Queen Conch National Plan San Andres Rincon del Mar Santa Marta Bogota

  14. National progress and developments are threatened by IUU Fishing. Regional Agreement and Cooperation. Alternative livelihood projects are necessary for artisanal fishermen. Final Considerations
