Interregional fisheries development and management programme. Eastern Central Atlantic fisheries. Report of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Sardinella Stocks from the Congo to Southern Angola, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, 20-24 August 1979
1979Also available in:
The sardinella stocks in the area from Congo to the southern border of Angola have for many years supported fisheries of substantial importance for some of the countries in the region, with total landings varying between about 50 000 and 150 000 t annually in the period 1961-1975. Various meetings of the CECAF Working Party on Resource Evaluation reviewed fisheries data and biological data on the sardinella stocks in Congolese waters (FAO 1973, 1975, 1976). They noted that these sardinella bel ong to stocks distributed from southern Gabon to southern Angola, and felt that the exploitation of these stocks could be substantially intensified. A first attempt at evaluating the stocks in the whole area was made at the meeting of the ICSEAF Working Group on Pelagic Species, held in Malaga, Spain, 6-9 December 1976 (ICSEAF 1976a). The data available at that meeting did not allow a proper stock assessment to be made, but it was believed that the productivity of the stocks would allow substant ially higher catches. Recently, Boely and Fréon (1979) included a discussion on these resources in their review of the coastal pelagic stocks along the Atlantic coasts of Africa. It was the task of the present Ad hoc working group to review and summarize the available information on the sardinella resources, and to evaluate as far as possible the magnitude of the stocks, their distribution and migrations, and the state of their exploitation. -

No results found.A permanent FAO Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal States, and from countries or organizations that play an active role in Northwest African pelagic fisheries, was established in March 2001. The overall objective of the Working Group is to assess the state of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and make recommendations on fisheries management and exploitation options aimed at ensuring optimal and sustainable use of small pelagic fish resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The nineteenth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Casablanca, Morocco, from 8–13 July 2019. The meeting was organized by FAO in collaboration with the National Institute of Fisheries Research (INRH) of Morocco. Un groupe de travail permanent de la FAO composé de scientifiques des États côtiers et de pays ou d’organisations jouant un rôle actif dans les pêcheries pélagiques d’Afrique du Nord-Ouest a été créé en mars 2001. L’objectif général du groupe de travail est d’évaluer l’état des ressources pélagiques du nord-ouest de l’Afrique et formuler des recommandations sur les options de gestion et d’exploitation de la pêche visant à assurer une utilisation optimale et durable des ressources halieutiques en petits pélagiques au profit des pays côtiers. La dix-neuvième réunion du groupe de travail de la FAO sur l'évaluation des petits poissons pélagiques au large de l'Afrique du Nord-Ouest s'est tenue à Casablanca (Maroc) du 8 au 13 juillet 2019. La réunion a été organisée par la FAO en collaboration avec l'Institut National de Recherche Halieutique (INRH) du Maroc. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa
Casablanca, Maroc, 20-25 juillet 2015
2016Also available in:
No results found.The fifteenth meeting of the FAO Working Gro up on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Casablanca, Morocco from 20 to 25 July 201 5. The Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and cat ch levels. The advice for th e stocks is in general given in relation to the agreed reference points F 0. 1 , F MSY , B 0.1 and B MSY and on the basis of the projections for the next five years. The structure of the report is the same as that of the previous Working Group reports (FAO, 2002– 2015). A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinella, horse mackerel, chub mackerel, bonga and anchovy). For each of these, standardized information is given on stock identity, fisheries, abundance indices, samp ling intensity, biologi cal data, assessment, projections, management recommendations and future research.

ProjectFactsheetTechnical Assistance for the Angola Fisheries Sector Support Project - UTF/ANG/056/ANG 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Angola’s 1 650 kilometres of coastline support the livelihoods of a significant portion of its population through fisheries and aquaculture. Artisanal and semi industrial fisheries make up more than 80 percent of total fish production; however, the monitoring of these fisheries is not adequate, leading to post harvest losses and limiting the ability of small scale fishing communities to thrive. This project was implemented to provide technical assistance to the Fisheries Sector Support Project (FSSP), which sought to improve fisheries monitoring and landing site management and reduce post harvest losses in Angola. By addressing weaknesses in technical knowledge among the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MINAGRIP) and local fishing communities, the project aimed to build the capacities of these beneficiaries to manage Angola’s small scale artisanal fisheries in accordance with the principles of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF). -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
