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.
