No results found.This document presents the continuation of the work done in two previous workshops funded by DANIDA as reported in FAO Fisheries Report No. 619. While the first two workshops had concentrated on biological and bio-economic assessments, this Workshop, arranged by the FISHCODE project, funded by Norway, was dedicated to the creation of regional cooperation on research and management of the Caribbean spiny lobster. The Preparatory Phase of the Workshop produced four regional reports on th e status of the stocks, research and management, to serve as a basis for discussion during the meeting between scientists and decision makers, responsible for fisheries management. The first part of the report contains an up-to-date summary of information on the resources of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus), their fisheries and their management. The Management Workshop, after a discussion of the biology, the fisheries situation, management aspects and the benefits of reg ional cooperation, led to a number of important recommendations and proposed actions, including the intention of signing in the future an Inter- Institutional Agreement that would have the following objectives: 1) Development of research programmes in fisheries and aquaculture; 2) Capacity building through training and exchange of experts; 3) Technology transfer in fisheries and aquaculture. In addition the Management Workshop made recommendations regarding the functioning of the WEC AFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Spiny Lobster and the formulation of a Regional Strategy for research and management. It also recommended that FAO open a site on the Internet to facilitate communication and exchange of data. -

No results found.This document reports on the fifth in a series of regional workshops organized by the FAO Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) in cooperation with various regional institutions following on from those held in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2002 (refer to FAO Fisheries Reports 619, 643 and 715). The goal of each workshop was to build on the information based on the previous workshop. The fifth Regional Workshop comprised two meetings: the scientific meeting which reviewed and updated the st atus of the Caribbean spiny lobster at national, subregional and regional levels; the management meeting reviewed the conclusions and recommendations of the scientific meeting and agreed on strategies to ensure optimal and sustainable use of the resource. Amongst other important recommendations, the management meeting agreed that countries that do not have a minimum size in their regulations that is equal to or above 74 mm carapace length as the minimum size for harvest should make efforts to es tablish this size. In addition to minimum size, the management of fishing mortality was also necessary to achieve sustainable utilization of the resource. -

No results found.The meeting recommended that technical management measures be embedded in a broad regional management plan addressing ecological, social and institutional issues for adoption at the sixteenth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission. The meeting was in favour of standardizing available data and information for joint assessment and comparison purposes. Joint regional assessments should be made through OSPESCA, CRFM and WECAFC, and could be led by the countries who volunteered to carry out this task. The Terms of Reference for the Working Group were discussed and updated, and a Convener for the Working Group was elected. La primera reunión del Grupo de Trabajo de OSPESCA/COPACO/CRFM/CFMC sobre la langosta espinosa del Caribe tuvo lugar en la Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, del 21 al 23 de octubre de 2014. Se recopiló y revisó los datos de captura y esfuerzo nacionales, las metodologías de evaluación de las poblaciones y las medidas de gestión para la langosta espinosa del Caribe. Las presentaciones de los países y el informe de la FAO/CRFM presentados, proporcionaron contribuciones importantes a esta discusión. La reunión notó una mejora global en la recopilación y la gestión de datos, y actualmente la mayoría de países tienen la capacidad de llevar a cabo evaluaciones de las poblaciones. El estado de las poblaciones segun parece ha mejorado en comparación con 2006Sin embargo, los tomadores de decisiones y hacedores de políticas pesqueras fueron instadas a tomar acción concreta para mejorar más las prácticas de ordenamiento a lo largo de la región.
