Report prepared by Meghan Stewart and Cassandra Kosterman, students in BCIT's Fish, Wildlife and Recreation Program.

Fisheries management is a hot topic in Venezuela these days. The main issue is fishing in restricted areas, in particular Los Roques National Park. The fish community in this country is quite extensive: the Southern Caribbean Basin is home to almost 450 species and the Orinoco River Basin contains more than 1000 species. Venezuela is also home to many endangered fish species.
