Moving forward to control lionfish in the MAR

By Ximena Flamenco | Project Officer II

We find ourselves once again in the Gulf of Mexico. With the support provided to Amigos de Sian Ka’an they have been able to continue the work they began in 2018. They had begun working with the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature A.C. (FMCN in Spanish), the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP in Spanish) to develop the National Action Plan for the control of lionfish in Mexico and the Local Committee for its control in the Yucatan Peninsula and the Mexican Caribbean. However, the efforts did not yield the creation of these planning and operating instruments.

With your support, we have been able to provide funds to Amigos de Sian Ka’an. Up to date, they have been able to develop the first workshop with the aim of collecting feedback, from the natural protected areas of the Coastal Plain and Gulf of Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula and the Mexican Caribbean, in regards to the updating and conclusion of the National Plan and the Local Committee for the control of lionfish. They presented the work that has been done so far since 2009 and the actions taken to be able to finalize the National Action Plan. This workshop will enable the socialization of the plan with key actors.

These continued efforts are contributing to the fulfillment of the objectives established in the Regional Strategy for the Control of Lionfish in the MAR, and it has been possible thanks to your help.

We appreciate your trust in us.

We´ll keep you posted on how things developed and further results achieved through this project.

Thank you

The MAR Fund Team.
