Sampling Protocol
Better Data Collection
• Standardization
• Randomization
• Sample size• 2000 lobsters per island
• Better bookkeeping• Export, ‘gifts’, sold locally
• Zero tolerance – 26 cm minimum
BackgroundFrameworkImplementationReevaluationConclusions
Capacity Building: Phase 3
REEVALUATION & CONTINUED SUPPORT
• Political turnover
• Retraining of new staff
• Additional workshop (Summer 2015)
• Analysis of sampling protocol success & failures
• Potential application to other fisheries

Conclusions
ASSESSMENT TOOL• Historical insights• Future trends
CAPACITY BUILDING• Start basic• Time & stakeholder engagement
SAMPLING PROTOCOL• Quality over quantity
