Récréafish: An Update
Launched in August 2021, the Récréafish program came to an end in August 2022. In spite of bad weather conditions that limited the number of fishing trips operated by the participants, 13 panelists from Saint Martin participated, of which only three were actually active. Saint Barthélemy saw participation of 42 fishermen, with 50 excursions reported and 400 fish caught during the same period. This project took place at the same time throughout the French Antilles, and was coordinated by IFREMER at the request of the OFB, allowing for a better understand of recreational fishing and the size of the catch on these islands.
