Resultados de la implementación de un piloto de inversión de impacto para incrementar el valor de la pesquería de merluza del norte del golfo de California.

El presente texto es el reporte de resultados del proyecto “Propuesta para implementación de un piloto de inversión de impacto para incrementar el valor de la pesquería de merluza del norte del golfo de California” (Anexo 1) que entregamos en noviembre de 2021.

Future of Fish: Traceability 101 Toolkit

The resources on this site were designed to meet the expressed need by NGO organizations for more tools and multiple forms of media that include high-level concepts and more detailed explanations.
