    Visual manual on good beekeeping practices for small-scale beekeepers in Africa 2021
    Also available in:
    This manual is a visual, practical document on good beekeeping practices for sustainable small-scale beekeepers in Africa. It has been designed to serve as a beekeeping training tool and is a concise, practical reference document. The manual opens with an illustrated story of the damaging effect of certain practices adopted when collecting wild honey (honey hunting) and aims to spark interest among readers on how to harvest honey more sustainably. The second section presents the reader with the main beekeeping equipment and explains how the tools can be used to keep healthy bees and harvest quality honey. It ends with an overview of good beekeeping practices that will help the beekeeper produce good honey in a sustainable manner. Rather than recommend a specific type of hive, the manual provides necessary information that will help beekeepers determine which type is best suited to their local conditions. The many illustrations included in the manual aim to help beekeepers make their own versions of the equipment that are tailored to local needs.

    Supporting the Implementation of the Regional Queen Conch Fisheries Management and Conservation Plan in the Wecafc Area - GCP/SLC/017/EC 2021

    Each year, an estimated 30 000 35 000 tonnes of queen conch ( strobus gigas ) are harvested across 36 countries and territories, with the largest producer being Nicaragua, followed by Jamaica, Bahamas and Belize. In the Caribbean region, queen conch is the principal marine species under regulation by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This is attributable not only to its high production but also its value and socio economic significance. To better promote cooperation and coordination in the sustainable management and utilization of queen conch, several regional bodies, including the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), Organization of Fishing and Aquaculture in Central America (OSPESCA) and Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC), formed the Working Group on Queen Conch. In 2014 2015, the working group prepared the Regional Queen Conch Fisheries Management and Conservation Plan, which was later endorsed at the 16th Session of the WECAFC. However, the effective implementation of this plan necessitates adequate human, financial and technical capacities in Member States. This project was therefore designed to assist WECAFC members and working group partners in developing their capacity to better implement the queen conch management plan at the national level.

The Meeting issued a “Declaration of Panama City” with highly valuable advice to the 16th Conference of Parties of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild flora and fauna (CITES) as well as recommendations to the regional fishery bodies and countries in the Western Central Atlantic. The Working Group Meeting was attended by 57 fish eries sector and CITES authority delegates from 23 countries and territories. The Working Group participants expressed their commitment to individually and collectively take measures and actions to further improve management and conservation of the Queen Conch resource in the Wider Caribbean Region.
