BookletStrengthening data collection of marine small-scale fisheries in the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic Region
Current situation and prospects
2025Also available in:
No results found.This technical report, prepared by the Artisanal Fisheries Working Group (AFWG) of the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF), provides a comprehensive analysis of artisanal fisheries data collection systems in the CECAF region, with a specific focus on Senegal, Mauritania, and Ghana. Established under the FAO in 2000 the AFWG of CECAF aims to improve sustainable fisheries management through enhanced data collection and analysis. The report is structured around three core areas: a review of existing data collection systems, an update on priority variables/indicators, and future prospects for strengthening data collection. It offers a detailed analysis of data systems in three key countries: Mauritania, Senegal, and Ghana. The report reveals a variety of approaches for collecting data on fleet, effort, landings, and post-capture activities. It also acknowledges the existence of spontaneous data-gathering operations, such as studies and framework surveys, which have enriched the data pool on small-scale fishing. Despite these efforts, the report identifies weaknesses and threats in the focus countries’ data systems and proposes improvements. It also highlights the challenges of data heterogeneity across countries, which hampers regional data pooling and harmonization. An updated list of approximately 20 priority variables/indicators has been proposed, based on work from the CECAF and the EAF-Nansen Programme. -
Book (series)Depleted marine resources: an approach to quantification based on the FAO capture database. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The 2002 United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development called for species whose catches had been drastically depleted to be restored to health within 2015. An approach is proposed here to a preliminary classification, based solely on information included in the FAO capture database. Three criteria were used to filter catch data: the trend in recent years, the long-term trend, and the extent of decline in catches over the long term. These were applied sequentially to the data series for species items by fishing area recorded in the FAO capture database. About ten percent of the species items examined matched the selecting criteria. This is the same proportion of stocks classified as “depleted” by FAO based on assessment data although there are differences in the species identified. Reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. The species groups with the highest percentages of species matching the three criteria were Gadiformes, molluscs (excluding cephalopods) and miscellan eous coastal and demersal fishes. Pelagic fishes (including Clupeoids) and crustaceans showed low percentages of depleted resources. Species considered depleted by this procedure are listed by FAO fishing area. -

La Commission a par ailleurs validé trois plans régionaux et une stratégie régionale. Les membres de la COPACO ont également validé le Cadre de référence pour la collecte de données, son nouveau Règlement intérieur, son plan stratégique 2022-2027, le mandat du Groupe scientifique consultatif et le Programme de travail (2022-2024). La decimoctava reunión de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro-Occidental se celebró en Managua (Nicaragua) del 26 al 29 de julio de 2022. La Comisión adoptó cinco recomendaciones en materia de ordenación pesquera. La Comisión también adoptó tres planes regionales y una estrategia regional. Los miembros de la COPACO respaldaron el Marco de referencia para la reunión de datos, el Plan estratégico 2022-2027, el mandato revisado del Grupo Asesor Científico y el Programa de trabajo 2022-2024.
