In all program regions, MREP maintains its fishermen-led, collaborative approach. Local fishermen, along with fisheries science and management experts, work with GMRI staff to guide the workshop.

This collaborative approach ensures that workshops are regionally relevant while transferring universally valuable tools and information.
