 Joanna Alfaro of the Peruvian NGO [ProDelphinus](https://www.prodelphinusperu.org/) writes to *ACAP Latest News*:  “It is my pleasure to share with you a [guide](https://dl.orangedox.com/EfWPMpUxoCeKrl56vD) on safe handling and release of Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) species for purse seine fisheries; our small contribution for marine conservation and sustainable fisheries.  It was a pleasure to work on this document with the team in ProDelphinus and several fishers who shared their traditional knowledge for this guide.  The guide has already been launched at a meeting with over 300 purse seine fishers, and we hope to continue sharing it with more fishers.”

 Mi post es para compartirles un [documento](https://dl.orangedox.com/EfWPMpUxoCeKrl56vD) que ame pues es un granito de arena a la conservacion marina y las pesquerias sostenibles, pero tb por que estuvimos en esto junto con un equipo maravilloso en [Pro Delphinus](https://www.facebook.com/ProDelphinus/?__cft__%5b0%5d=AZXVTGZ2x8rkXQGztcxHbnYBQdBKhynh-VUs5ySItr4dM4_9NwMwZSo_W2ZZygVrRGGcPxMz4onOSdHz8RRBA1HUpmJSd2CdnJUl4jp3azFzxnqf3bFXHu18SIAHy7hj2Psm6ngBM5rH4wt1Ybv6xzn2&__tn__=kK-R). Calientita les dejo la Guia de Liberacion y Manipulacion de Fauna Marina en cerco pesquero. Se agradece de antemano las descargas y compartidas.
