It was attended by participants from Comoros, France, Kenya, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania and Yemen. The Working Party received national reports of each of the countries and examined the status of fisheries catch and effort data and statistics. It discussed minimum data requirements for effective fisheries management in five generic fisheries types: industrial shrimp, artisanal shrimp, trap fisheries, demersal line and beach seine fisheries. A list of metadata fields was presented to assist member countries provide data to the regional data coordinator of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Project in order to set up a regional meta-database. The availability of relevant regional and global information systems was discussed. The Working Party made recommendations on improving the situation o f fisheries data and statistics for the consideration of the Scientific Committee of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission. -

No results found.The second Working Party of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission on Fisheries Data and Statistics was attended by participants from Comoros, France, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, the United Republic of Tanzania, Yemen, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), the Regional Programme for the Sustainable Management of the Coastal Zones of the Indian Ocean (ReCoMap) and the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Project (SWIOFP). The Working Pa rty received updates of the status of monitoring of the fishery catches by the member countries of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission. Some countries were upgrading their systems, others continued with existing systems that operated satisfactorily. Comoros and Somalia had no systems in place. The Working Party discussed minimum data requirements for effective fisheries management in three artisanal fishery types: tuna, shark and small pelagic fisheries. Each country provided the existing availability of data for these requirements. As requested, the Working Party also examined the standardization and synchronization of frame surveys from a technical presentation on frame survey design as well as from information provided by the countries at the meeting. Due to the large variety of artisanal vessels in the region a more detailed analysis would be required in order to provide recommendations to the Scientific Committee. The Working Party commented on Statbase metadatabas e descriptions made by countries and clarified some of the terms and definitions. In the process it was recognized that closer comparision of the datasets in respective countries was necessary. Other metadatabases discussed included WioFish and Transmap. The statistics of fishery catches in each country was examined and recommendations made for their improvement. The catch statistics held by IOTC for tuna fisheries and their bycatch, the SWIOFP data management plan and the activities supported b y ReCoMap, were presented. The Working Party made recommendations on improving the situation of fisheries data and statistics for the consideration of the Scientific Committee of the SWIOFC. -

Originally targeting the South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) Region, it expended to a global scope with the SWIO Region as an example. As a consequence, its main objective was “Developing strategies and best practices for investments in an efficient data supply chain, of global value, building on the Indian Ocean situation used as case study. Working sessions aimed to analyze different cases though projects/initiatives presentations and discussions to identify what worked and what didn’t to define general principles, identify challenges and propose strategies and best practices for cost-efficient and sustainable investments in fisheries data collection, sharing and utilization. Key principles were raised by the participants to keep tools, methodology and process in the data supply chain simple and to reuse as much as possible what already exists. Seventeen key points were identified during the discussion as common issues/common needs/general principles and were organized and developed in the Expert Document “Strategies and Best Practices”.
