Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission's Books

This document is the final version of the report of the fifth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) held in Castries, St. Lucia, from 17 to 19 July 1985. Major topics discussed during the session were the state of fisheries in the WECAFC area, management and development of fisheries in the Lesser Antilles region, follow-up to the FAO World Conference on Fisheries Management and Development and cooperation with other organizations concerned with fisheries in the region. A list of the main recommendations of the session is included as Appendix F.

This publication contains the national reports and technical papers from 14 countries in the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission region on the development and management of fishing around fish aggregating devices, presented at the meeting held in October 2001. The reports and papers are reproduced in the language in which they were presented at the meeting.

The first part of the report contains an up-to-date summary of information on the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) resources, its fisheries and management. After a discussion of the biology, the fisheries situation, management aspects and the benefits of regional cooperation, the Management Workshop led to a number of important recommendations and proposed actions, including the intention of signing in the future an Inter-Institutional Agreement.

This document assembles three reviews of the marine shrimp and groundfish fisheries of the Brazil-Guianas shelf (northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and eastern Venezuela) and one on environmental aspects of the area. Each report contains a number o recommendations for fisheries management, further research and international cooperation in data collection and assessments.

The principal outcome of this meeting was a joint tatement by the ministers in which they: (1) reaffirmed their commitment to the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) through policies and programmes; (2) voiced their support for the work of the WECAFC, which provides the countries with a neutral forum and mechanism for regional cooperation in fisheries management and conservation; (3) noted the status of the fisheries resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf.

The Inception Workshop for the Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries (StewardFish) project was convened at United Nations House, in Barbados, from 13 to 14 September 2018. In attendance, were representatives of the fisheries authorities (national executing partners) from the seven project countries, five regional executing partner organizations (CANARI, CERMES-UWI, CNFO, CRFM, WECAFC), fisherfolk leaders from national fisherfolk organizations/lead primary fisherfolk organizations in the project countries as well as representatives from other fisheries-related national and regional agencies. The overall objective of the workshop was to bring together key partners and stakeholders who would be involved in the delivery of the project to ensure that there was a common understanding of the project objectives, components, outcomes, outputs and planned activities as well as the roles and responsibilities of all partners. Achievements of the workshop included (i) review and agreement on the project institutional and implementation arrangements; (ii) review and agreement on the project components, outcomes, outputs and planned activities and the results matrix; (iii) review and adjustments to country work plans; (iv) mapping out of the LOAs; and (iv) review and agreement on the monitoring and evaluation mechanism.

This document consists of three parts. Part I contains the proceedings of the two workshops, including lists of participants and the results of stock assessments by country and/or subregion made during the two workshops. Part II contains a combination of edited national reports.

The main objectives of the Conference were to share information and the best scientific evidence available on the status of main commercial species of shrimp and groundfish in the region, discuss and evaluate management recommendations and their applicability and discuss a way forward for improving cooperation in fisheries research and management in the subregion.
