Notice Title

CEFAS23-157 Contract for services to support of Sri Lanka shark and ray trade under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP)

Notice Description

Cefas requires the Supplier to provide services in support of the shark and ray trade in Sri Lanka, under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme.

Lot Information

Lot 1

In February 2023 Cefas supported species identification training through the UK Governments Ocean
Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) to frontline fisheries staff in Sri Lanka and engaged with the
fisheries directorate to discuss evidence priorities. Support with the revision of Sri Lanka's current National
Plan of Action (NPOA) for elasmobranchs and the associated activities around this was identified as a
priority. This includes the need to develop a full list of elasmobranch species being caught, landed, and
traded in Sri Lanka followed by the development of a national ID guide. This resource would then be used
as a training reference for existing and future staff within the fisheries departments, customs, and
coastguards in the field to support robust data collection, identify and prosecute illegal activities and thus
promote sustainable elasmobranch fisheries.
2. Aims and Objectives
The overarching aims and objectives of the project are:
1. To review and update the National Plan of Action (NPOA) for Sri Lanka's elasmobranch
populations in collaboration with the Fisheries department of Sri Lanka and Cefas and socialise
the developed plan with stakeholders in Sri Lanka.
2. Use visual and DNA-based approaches to identify elasmobranchs sampled at markets across
Sri Lanka to support the development of a national identification guide.
3. To provide technical support to two master's students working on DNA analysis of market
samples and population assessment methods.
4. Facilitate and deliver workshops on the visual identification of CITES listed elasmobranchs to
fisheries and trade management staff, using updated identification guides (post CITES
Convention of the Parties in Nov 2022 (COP19)).
