Synopsis (short abstract) This is the final version of the Report of the Regional Commission for Fisheries/Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (RECOFI–FIRMS) Data Call Workshop – Updating stocks and fisheries inventories, Virtual Meeting, 3–4 August 2021. This workshop focused on the update of the RECOFI–FIRMS national inventories on fisheries and the development of the RECOFI inventory on marine resources based on its priority species. Recommendations from the workshop included: i) the nomination of a National Focal Points (NFPs) for Minimum Data Reporting (MDR) and for the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS), who would closely collaborate; ii) an increased collaboration with the FIRMS Secretariat towards the compilation and publishing of up-to-date marine resource and fisheries inventories and fact sheets; and iii) the utilization of the RECOFI–FIRMS inventories and templates for any submission of national stock information to the Working Group on Fisheries Management (WGFM).

    In recognition of the fisheries sector’s contributions and responsibilities to the global goals, the Sustainable Development Goal Target 14 - Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development - includes a target and monitoring indicator specifically related to the sustainability of fish stocks which aims to monitor the proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels in order to achieve the target of restoring fish stocks in the shortest time feasible. As part of a larger workshop series on the SDG 14.4.1, the community of Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) countries were invited to participate in a special 3-hour introductory session on 5 August 2021 to present the indicator and reporting process, and participate in discussions towards a reference list of stocks for each country and for the region.

    A Workshop to plan the 1999 R/V DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys in the northern CECAF area and the standardization of acoustic surveys in the region was held in Casablanca, Morocco from 18 to 22 October 1999. This Workshop was a follow-up to the Workshop "A review of the surveys off Northwest Africa in the 1990s" held in Bergen in 1998 (FAO, 1998). The countries represented were the Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal as well as Norway, Russia and FAO. The purpose of the Workshop was to plan the 1999 acoustic survey with the R/V DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN off Northwest Africa in November-December 1999 and to discuss the standardization of acoustic surveys in the Northern CECAF area as well as following-up on other recommendations from the meeting in Bergen in 1998. The Workshop stressed the usefulness of the results from the DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys and strongly recommended that the surveys be continued. The Workshop considered that the use of the results for stock assessment could st ill be increased at a regional level and therefore recommended to establish a Working Group on assessment of small pelagic resources in the same region as covered by the DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys. The Working Group on Guidelines provided a first draft of the Guidelines for acoustic surveys in Northwest Africa. It was recommended that the Working Group should meet again before the next acoustic survey in the year 2000.
