Synopsis (short abstract) The Workshop on the Age Estimation of Sardine and Sardinella in Northwest Africa was organized in Casablanca, Morocco, from 4 to 9 December 2006. The Workshop reviewed and discussed the results of an otolith exchange that had been carried out in 2006 and which included both sardine and sardinella otoliths from different locations. The final outcome of the meeting consisted in revised agreed guidelines for the preparation and interpretation of sardine and sardinella otoliths. A new ot olith exchange was initiated just after the Workshop to consolidate results.

    This is the final report of the first meeting of the acoustic Working Group for northwest Africa (AWG) organized in Agadir, Morocco from 11 to 12 June 2019. The AWG brings together scientists involved in pelagic acoustic surveys from northwest African countries and aims to coordinate acoustic studies in the region, discuss common hydroacoustic issues, coordinate studies and research and share expertise with the ultimate aim of transferring knowledge and skills to new generations of acousticians. The EAF-Nansen Programme supported the implementation of the AWG and contributed to the development of the report. The report presents the content and outcome of this first AWG, including recommendations for acoustic methods to be used, studies to be conducted and operations of the group in the future. Ce document est le rapport final de la Première réunion du Groupe de travail acoustique en Afrique du Nord-Ouest (GTA) organisée à Agadir, au Maroc, du 11 au 12 juin 2019. Le GTA rassemble des scientifiques qui ont participé aux campagnes acoustiques sur les pélagiques des pays d'Afrique du Nord-Ouest et vise à coordonner les campagnes acoustiques dans la région, à discuter des problématiques communes en matière d’hydroacoustiques, à coordonner les études et la recherche et à partager l'expertise dans le but ultime de transférer les connaissances et les compétences aux nouvelles générations d'acousticiens. Le Programme EAF-Nansen a soutenu la mise en oeuvre du GTA et a contribué à l'élaboration du rapport. Ce dernier présente les thématiques et les résultats de ce premier GTA, notamment les recommandations formulées sur les méthodes acoustiques à utiliser, les études à mener et les futures activités du groupe.

    The objectives of the workshop were to examine the implications of national and joint management of shared stocks, to explore possible ways to achieve sustainable management of shared stocks for the benefit of coastal countries and to suggest the way forward for a regional management system. As a general recommendation the group suggests to support the current FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagics in Northwest Africa. This group should be furthered and strengthened in order to maintain a high level of resource assessment studies in the coming years and the long-term future. Fisheries Scientific Institutes should identify research priorities and seek national budgetary allocationsto sustain long-term research. Countries should develop national management plans in support of a future joint regional management system.
