    In 2011 the FAO Committee on Fisheries recommended the development of international guidelines for small - scale fisheries. As part of its strategic development process, the FAO Secretariat engaged in an extensive consultative process with governments, regional organizations, civil society organizations, and small - scale fishers, fish workers and their communities. In this context, the FAO, the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) and the Western and Central Atlantic Fisheries Commissi on (WECAFC) jointly convened the Caribbean Regional Consultation on the Development of International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in Kingston, Jamaica, on 6 - 8 December 2012. The workshop brought together more than 60 experts from government, regional organizations, civil society and academia to further discuss the structure, overall considerations and thematic coverage of the future SSF Guidelines and to consolidate ideas put forth in other regional and national co nsultations. Advice was given concerning next steps and additional activities in the guidelines development process. The workshop confirmed the existence of a number of relevant regional initiatives which support the harmonization of national policies, including fisheries policies. Recognizing the particular situation of small island developing countries participants stressed the need to build on these institutions and mechanisms for the future implementation of the SSF Guidelines. The SSF Guide lines should be a set of ideals to empower the sector and it will be important to create awareness of the potential of small-scale fisheries - if these are to be supported and not marginalized - and to build political will at all levels. The workshop agreed that the SSF Guidelines can become a powerful tool in achieving sustainable governance and development of the sector. Support for their implementation will be important, requiring concerted efforts and organizational development and strengthe ning of capacities at all levels.
