    The second meeting of the OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM/CFMC working group on Caribbean Spiny Lobster took place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from 21 to 23 March 2018. The status of the Caribbean spiny lobster fishery was presented in the subregions of OSPESCA and the CRFM, as well as in Brazil, Cuba, the United States and Mexico. Delegates also learned about the progress in the implementation and definition of indicators of subcomponent 4A related to spiny lobster in the CLME + Strategic Action Plan and the preparation and contents of the SOMEE Report. A new expanded and updated proposal of a regional plan for the management of Caribbean lobster prepared in the context of the Ecolobster + sub-project of the CLME + project was also presented. In the same context, a harmonized system of data collection and evaluation of lobster stocks that allows for minimum common elements among countries for purposes of comparing results and estimating the spiny lobster stock status was presented. Additionally, advances in the design and implementation of a proposed regional standard for traceability of fishery products, with emphasis on the Caribbean lobster fishery, were shown. Terms of Reference of the working group were discussed and updated, and the 2016–2018 work plan was adopted. The working group also adopted a new definition in the identification and distribution of spiny lobster stocks in the Greater Caribbean.

Se presentó el estado de la pesca de langosta espinosa del Caribe en las subregiones de OSPESCA y el CRFM, así como en Brasil, Cuba, Estados Unidos y México. Los delegados también se enteraron de los avances en la implementación y definición de indicadores del subcomponente 4A referido a la langosta espinosa en el Plan de Acción Estratégico del CLME+ y de la preparación y contenidos del Informe sobre el Estado de los Ecosistemas Marinos y Economías Asociadas (Informe SOMEE por sus siglas en ingles). También se presentó una nueva propuesta ampliada y actualizada de plan regional de ordenamiento de la langosta del Caribe preparado en el contexto del sub-proyecto Ecolangosta+ del proyecto CLME+. En este mismo contexto, se presentó una propuesta de un sistema armonizado de colecta de datos y evaluación de stocks de langosta que permita contar con elementos mínimos comunes entre los países para efectos de comparar resultados y estimar el estado de las poblaciones. Adicionalmente, se presentaron los avances en el diseño e implementación de una propuesta del estándar regional de trazabilidad de productos pesqueros, con énfasis en la pesquería de langosta del Caribe.

    The six northwestern provinces of Viet Nam Hoa Binh Son La, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Yen Bai and Lao Cai are endowed with rich natural resources that play a crucial role in watershed management for such key river systems as the Da and Ma rivers The six provinces cover a total land area of approximately 5 64 million ha and provide a home to 4 43 million people, of whom 3 35 million are ethnic minorities The provinces are among the poorest regions of the country, with more than 80 percent of the population dependent on agriculture for its livelihood The region has 3 9 million ha of agriculture and forestry land, of which 80 percent is dedicated to forestry and 20 percent to farming In addition to the effect of population pressure on arable land, the expansion of agricultural production onto hilly and sloping land, and the prevalence of maize mono cropping have caused serious deforestation, the degradation of agro ecosystems and landscape fragmentation In addition, the region is characterized by fragile ecosystems, unstable geology and complex topography, and is highly vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters Despite this crucial situation, the introduction of important counter measures, such as tree based intercropping, remains limited Barriers to the large scale adoption of such practices in the region include widespread outdated cultivation practices, a lack of knowledge of climate smart agriculture ( and agroforestry ( practices and significant investment requirements In addition, given the prevalence of monoculture, there is little incentive for farmers, who have limited access to education and an extension system, to diversify their income The aim of the project was thus to enhance the capacities of the government and upland communities to scale up CSA/AF best practices in the Northwestern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam.
