 International fisheries management plan for the Amistad Reservoir In September 2000, 18 resource managers from Amistad National Recreation Area (Texas); the NPS Water Resources Division; Texas Parks and Wildlife; and the Mexican Secretary of Environment, Natural Resources, and Fisheries met in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, to begin planning how to cooperatively manage the shared international fishery resources in the Amistad Reservoir. One of the main goals to come out of the first meeting was an agreement to develop a Binational Fisheries Management Plan to “improve the management of Amistad Reservoir fisheries through interagency and international cooperation.” In 2001, three meetings between U.S. and Mexican agency counterparts helped to develop the fisheries management plan. The latest meeting occurred in November, in Ciudad Acuña, to review the working draft plan. Initiated in 2001, the plan sets goals for the monitoring of sport and commercial fishery resources and the completion of an economic analysis of these resources. The plan calls for a Binational Fisheries Management Team to meet once a year to coordinate work projects and share information. The final Binational Fisheries Management Plan document is scheduled for completion in spring 2002. |
