What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Crab Council is supporting Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIPs) in several Southeast Asian nations, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Crab Council began coordinating and funding a FIP in Sri Lanka in 2013, which resulted in the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar areas becoming the first Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) fisheries to achieve Marine Stewardship Council certification.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Crab Council Chair, Brice Phillips, noted that the sustainability of the crab stock is directly tied to the sustainability of the community, which includes thousands of small-scale fishers and processing workers in Sri Lanka. The Council views the Sri Lankan project as a model for testing new BSC fisheries management policies globally.
