Amazon fishery management provides rare 'win-win' chance for conservation and poverty alleviation10/20/2016 A study was conducted to determine the best management solutions for the depletion of fish stocks in the Amazon River. The goal was to analyze the recovery of the Arapaima gigs, the world's largest scaled freshwater wish. Data compiled for eight years was used to measure how population sizes varied between managed, protected oxbow lakes and open- access lakes. The study showed a substantial rebound in fish populations under community- based management. This was a "win- win" because it showed a conservation solution as well as being a sustainable development opportunity for the socioeconomic standing in the Amazonian countries. Community- based management stimulates influences health, economic income and local involvement. Professor Carlos Perez from the University of East Anglia explains how even in the world's most underfunded protected areas, local security can be a powerful instrument in biodiversity conservation both in forest and freshwater ecosystems. This "win- win" event is important because it shows that even one oh the poorest areas in the world can reverse an overfished area of water to one that provides increased health, stimulates economy, and of course brings back the once abundant fish population. The errors made by man are able to be reversed through new techniques and approaches in conservation efforts. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161020092257.htm
