2.1 Action Plan

FISHERMEN:

ToC / ACTION PLAN / MONITORING PLAN
Results needed / SMART Objectives / Metric / Method / Baseline / Target / Result
Conservation Result / Increase species health, in terms of both fish biomass and overall trophic levels.
Note: fish biomass does not necessary equate to increased number of endangered species.
The occurrence of endangered species is dependent upon a range of biogeography parameters only one of which is human perturbation. / The CR will be answering 2 questions:
(i) Do fishermen catch big fish? (dates: 2008-2010)
There has been a 50% increase (from 2.03 (+/- 0.32 (1 s.e.) to 3.45 ) fish per person hour to 1.7) in the average number of emperor caught per person hour spent hand lining between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2010 across Naboutini, Navakaka and Waivula in Cakaudrove and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval.
There has been a 50% significant increase (from 2.85 (+/- 0.91 (1 s.e.) to 4.28) in the average number of emperor caught per person hour spent hand lining between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2010 across Delaivadra, Lakeba, Nabubu and Salevukoso in Macuata and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval.
(ii) Are caught fish getting bigger (2008-2010)?
There has been a 10% increase (from 18.24 (+/- 0.37 (1 s.e.)) to 20.06 cm) in the average length of emperor caught hand lining between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2010 across Naboutini, Navakaka and Waivula in Cakaudrove and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval
There has been a 10% significant increase (from 24.39 (+/- 0.33 (1 s.e.)) to 26.83cm) in the average length of emperor caught per person hour spent hand lining between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2010 across Delaivadra, Lakeba, Nabubu and Salevukoso in Macuata and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval
LONG TERM GOAL:
Is the trophic structure of inshore fisheries catches changing (2008-2014)?
There has been a 5% increase in the average trophic level (from 2.98 (+/- s.e. 0.44) based on sample size of 266 to 3.13) of fish caught through spear fishing between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2010 across Naboutini, Navakaka and Waivula in Cakaudrove and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval
There has been a 5% increase in the average trophic level (from 3.29 (+/- s.e. 0.50) based on sample size of 261 to 3.45) of fish caught through spear fishing between data collected in 2008 and data collected in 2014 across Delaivadra, Lakeba, Nabubu and Salevukoso in Macuata and that this difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval. / Fish biomass and trophic levels within adjacent non-managed fishing grounds (tara). / CPUE / Short term: within 2 years a significant increase in fish biomass and overall trophic structure within the tabu area.
Medium Term: Within 5 years a significantly greater biomass within adjacent fished areas compared to adjacent non-managed fishing grounds.
