The session was attended by delegates from 20 Members of the GFCM as well as 12 observers and representatives of the FAO including regional projects. The Committee reviewed the issues addressed at the eight technical meetings, including the four sessions of its subcommittees, and at the workshops held during the 2012–2013 intersessi on. It examined actions carried out within the first phase of the GFCM Framework Programme (FWP). The main issues addressed included: i) scientific advice on the status of stocks, ii) a draft proposal for a regional management plan of red coral (RMP-RC), iii) the conservation status of species of special interest; iv) data collection schemes, including data compliance, and ongoing activities to prepare a GFCM data collection reference framework and v) research programmes among GFCM Members. The Committee also discussed technical issues in connection with the use of area-based measures, IUU fishing, VMS data and management related to bycatch and discards of commercial and non-commercial species. Furthermore, it endorsed the organization of a Regional Symposium on Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea by the end of 2013. Priority actions in the Black Sea were examined and the Committee welcomed the creation of a Mediterranean and Black Sea database of exper ts and institutions as well as of a Black Sea subregional group on stock assessment. The Committee endorsed a revised standard format for national reports and a proposal for a biennial report on the status of fisheries in the GFCM area. The Committee was informed about progress achieved within the process of amendment of the GFCM legal and institutional framework and welcomed the adoption of a subregional approach, in particular with respect to multiannual management plans. To facilitate this ap proach, the Committee expressed its support to the creation of subregional working groups and welcomed the proposal to establish a support mechanism to the decision-making process. Finally, it agreed upon its work plan for 2012–2013, endorsed the nomination of coordinators for its subcommittees and decided to submit the issue of the election of its Bureau to the next GFCM session. -

2018Also available in:
No results found.La chenille légionnaire d’automne, (), CLA, un dangereux ravageur transfrontalier originaire des Amériques, se répand rapidement dans toutes les sous-régions d’Afrique depuis 2016, provoquant d’importants dégâts aux cultures. L’éducation des agriculteurs et l’action communautaire sont des éléments de la stratégie pour gérer au mieux les populations de CLA à l’aide d’une approche de gestion intégrée et écologique du ravageur. Les champs-écoles des producteurs (CEP), une approche holistique de l’éducation des agriculteurs utilisée dans plus de 90 pays, seront une composante clé de cet effort d’intervention. Ce guide vise à fournir une orientation sur la façon de mener un CEP sur la gestion durable et intégrée de la CLA en Afrique, avec un accent sur le maïs en tant que plante hôte préférée de la CLA. Il fournit des informations sur la biologie et l’écologie de la CLA; des études de terrain et des exercices à utiliser dans les champs-écoles des producteurs durant toute la campagne agricole; et des suggestions sur la façon de développer un programme de formation pour les services de conseils ruraux/vulgarisation sur la CLA et pour les modules de mise à niveau des maîtres formateurs et des facilitateurs. -
