Season 2

It is now the year 1975. Marine life in your coastal waters is still thriving. There continues to be an abundance of large

and healthy fishes.

Buyers and traders from all over are still interested in purchasing the fish you catch. Something has changed, though. There are considerably more people in your community, and the number of fishers has increased.

The good news is that a catch of at least 10 adult fish is still enough to sustain each of your families.

INSTRUCTION

It is still OPEN ACCESS during this fishing season. There are still no regulations that restrict everyone from using specific gear types or catching certain marine life. Unlike the previous season, EVERYONE can fish anywhere, catch any species, and use any gear they want.

When you hear “GO FISH”, everyone can start fishing between 10 to 30 seconds and will continue until you hear “STOP”. You may still collect and count the fish in the gear after the "STOP" but cease to continue fishing.

After the fishing season is finished, count the number of adult fish, juvenile fish, and non-fish species/species with important conservation value you landed and report the total number to the Fish Traders. They will record the data in the Fisheries Catch Monitoring Form.
