The JTED Experiment


Do you still remember the JTED meeting? We fondly refer to it as the first International Conference hosted by Calbayog City. It had delegates from at least twelve countries and International Organizations coming to Calbayog a few days before the 58th Charter Day Anniversary.

Officially called The Global National Coordinators' Review Meeting, its delegates came to the City to review the experiment on the Juvenile Trashfish Excluder Device (J-TED), a program under the auspices of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and supported by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). (You may check this link).

I came across the two (related) reports on the experiments (Mexico was the other city where the experiment was conducted) as featured in BBC News and Earth Report. I thought I wanted to share these with you. You may check on the logos below, or check these links: link 1, link 2.
