Synopsis (short abstract) In response to a request from Azerbaijan, Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan for assistance with building capacity in managing the sturgeon fisheries of the Caspian Sea, FAO developed a project entitled “Capacity building for the recovery and management of the sturgeon fisheries of the Caspian Sea” (TCP/INT/3101). At the FAO and the World Bank Planning Workshop in April 2008 where the four countries included in the project, plus the fifth Caspian range state the Rus sian Federation, participated it was agreed: “that a workshop should be held under the TCP Project with the following objectives: (i) identify, develop and test changes to the current stock assessment methodologies; and (ii) identify any support needed from development partners”. Such a workshop would further allow the countries to comply with a request from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Animals Committee. In response to the above recommendation, FAO and CITES organized the Technical Workshop on Stock Assessment and Total Allowable Catch (TAC) Methodologies in Rome from 11 to 13 November 2008. That Workshop was attended by four of the Caspian countries, while Islamic Republic of Iran unfortunately was unable to attend.
