Subject in recent years to a number of natural disasters and political crises alike, the Republic of Haiti faces numerous developmental challenges, of which one of the foremost is food security. Small-scale fisheries offers concrete, long-term solutions to this problem, notably through increasing the yields produced by small-scale fisheries and aquaculture, improving the fishery products industry, and improving the sustainable management of fisheries resources. Within this context, The Haitian Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development has entrusted the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development with carrying out a joint scientific assessment of the state of small-scale fisheries in Haiti. To this end, IRD has engaged a multidisciplinary committee of Haitian and French scientific and professional experts made up of agronomists, fishery experts, anthropologists, economists, geographers and environmental managers. This publication provides the latest knowledge available on small-scale fisheries from the perspective of the environment, fish species and fishery; aquaculture, ecological intensification and management; and the fishery products industry, from local level to the international context. This review of the state of existing knowledge includes more than 50 recommendations for decision-makers and fishery stakeholders to promote the development of sustainable and equitable small-scale fisheries in Haiti.
