Synopsis (short abstract) The fifth session of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) was held in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, from 28 to 29 October 2011. The Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) hosted the session at the venue of its sixty-fourth annual meeting. The SAG discussed the fisheries resource status in the Wider Caribbean Region, identified emerging and continuing issues of concern to fisheries stakeholders, and produced a set of research-related pri orities focusing on fisheries resource assessment and management, for consideration by the fourteenth session of WECAFC, which is scheduled to be held in Panama in February 2012. The SAG called for renewed attention from policy makers to the declining trend in fish catches of some important commercial fisheries species stocks including the valuable Caribbean spiny lobster and several important reef species and urges action in support of the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible F isheries. The SAG also drew the attention of WECAFC and its members to the following research priorities aimed at improving current fisheries resource assessment and management: comprehensive fisheries assessment; building capacity for research, assessment and management; aquaculture development and management; incorporating social, economic and livelihood considerations; impacts of climate change and variability on fisheries, and; governance of marine resources incorporating ecosystem approache s. The list of SAG recommendations for the attention of the Commission is included in the preface of the report.
