ProjectFactsheetSupporting the Implementation of the Regional Queen Conch Fisheries Management and Conservation Plan in the Wecafc Area - GCP/SLC/017/EC 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Each year, an estimated 30 000 35 000 tonnes of queen conch ( strobus gigas ) are harvested across 36 countries and territories, with the largest producer being Nicaragua, followed by Jamaica, Bahamas and Belize. In the Caribbean region, queen conch is the principal marine species under regulation by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This is attributable not only to its high production but also its value and socio economic significance. To better promote cooperation and coordination in the sustainable management and utilization of queen conch, several regional bodies, including the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), Organization of Fishing and Aquaculture in Central America (OSPESCA) and Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC), formed the Working Group on Queen Conch. In 2014 2015, the working group prepared the Regional Queen Conch Fisheries Management and Conservation Plan, which was later endorsed at the 16th Session of the WECAFC. However, the effective implementation of this plan necessitates adequate human, financial and technical capacities in Member States. This project was therefore designed to assist WECAFC members and working group partners in developing their capacity to better implement the queen conch management plan at the national level. -

No results found.The second meeting of the CFMC/OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM Working Group on Queen Conch was held in Panama City, Panama, from 18 to 20 November 2014. The meeting followed up on decisions by the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of Parties of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and a recommendation from the fifteenth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC). The meeting reviewed a draft Regional Queen Conch Management an d Conservation Plan with 26 potential fisheries management measures, and determined which measures will contribute most to the sustainability of the stocks and livelihoods of those involved in queen conch fisheries in the region. The meeting reached expert agreement on the use of regional harmonized conversion factors for the various degrees of processing of conch meat and on a format for non-detriment findings (NDFs) assessments. The meeting also updated the Terms of Reference of the Working Gr oup and prepared a new work plan. The conclusions and draft recommendation from the Working Group will be reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Group and forwarded to the sixteenth session of WECAFC and important meetings of partner agencies for their endorsement. The working group meeting was attended by 55 fisheries and CITES authority delegates from 22 countries and territories. The meeting was facilitated by the Caribbean Fisheries Management Council, CITES and FAO. -

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.
