5 R ESULTS ASSESSMENT BY CONAPESCA

CONAPESCA specialists performed a detailed analysis and evaluation of the expressed results, in compliance with the Terms of Reference set for the three stages of the proposed aquaculture management project: (i) characterization of the study area, (ii) comprehensive assessment of the aquaculture sector in the study area, and (iii) proposal for the compliance of UPAs.
CESANAY was the executor of the case study.

Once the results were validated, a deed settlement was issued stating that the use of public resources for the present aquaculture management project was properly applied. Thereafter, the spatial analysis was published in the website “Acuasesor” (http://acuasesor .conapesca.gob.mx/) containing: (i) Geo-referencing of UPAs, and (ii) shrimp aquaculture aptitude. The website aims to offer public technical and administrative elements as a contribution to the development of the national aquaculture sector. This website is recognized by FAO within the Country Initiatives Collection of NASO aquaculture maps (www.fao.org/fishery/naso-maps/country-initiatives/es/).
