Book (series)Report of the Regional Workshop on Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management in the Gulf of Guinea and first Steering Committee Meeting. Accra, Ghana, 23–26 October 2007 2010
Also available in:
A regional workshop on ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) for countries in the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) area was held in Accra, Ghana, from 23 to 26 October 2007 together with the first Steering Committee meeting of the EAF-Nansen project “Strengthening the Knowledge Base for and Implementing an Ecosystem Approach to Marine Fisheries in Developing Countries (EAF Nansen GCP/INT/003/NOR)”. The objectives of the workshop were to introduce participants to EAF and th e EAF-Nansen project and to identify the activities to be carried out in the Gulf of Guinea under the project with focus on the year 2008. The workshop was attended by a total of 30 participants from 12 GCLME countries, the Fishery Committee of the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC), the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources of Namibia and FAO. In the introduction to EAF and the EAF-Nansen project, the need for applying an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, as reflect ed in the 2001 Reykjavik Conference on Responsible Fisheries in the Marine Ecosystem and in the Plan of implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), was highlighted. An overview of the key concepts and processes of the ecological risk assessment methodology was given and the experience gained and results obtained from the implementation of an EAF pilot project in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem area were presented. Based on a questionnaire that had been provided prior to the workshop, an overview of the main fisheries in the region (including their social and economic importance), existing institutional arrangements in support to fisheries management and perceived key challenges that managers of these fisheries face in relation to ecosystem sustainability were discussed. For practical exercises the participants worked in three subgroups (northern, central and southern countries) with each group selecting a specific fishery (shrim p trawl fishery by the northern and southern groups, the beach seine fishery by the central group), defining its global and specific objectives and working through issue identification for the selected fishery. Participants found the workshop extremely useful, commented extensively on the novel approach to management that the EAF provides and suggested that the work of the subregional groups should concentrate first on the fisheries dealt with during the workshop. They asked that the E AF-Nansen project document be sent officially to the respective countries for information and as a means of asking for national support, including co-financing. -
Book (stand-alone)Report of the EAF REGIONAL TASK GROUP MEETING AND ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY WORKSHOP (GULF OF GUINEA). Freetown, Sierra Leone, 20-22 October 2008 2009
Also available in:
The first meeting of the Gulf of Guinea EAF Regional Task Group (RTG) was held in Freetown, Sierra Leone, from 20 to 22 October 2008 together with an Ecological Risk Assessment Methodology Workshop. It was attended by 20 participants from 13 Gulf of Guinea countries, the Subregional Fishery Commission for the Western Central Gulf of Guinea, and FAO. The RTG is an implementation structure under the EAF-Nansen project GCP/INT/003/NOR and serves as the forum for training in ecological ris k assessment that is the methodology used for the identification and prioritisation of issues requiring management attention. The main objectives of the meeting and workshop were to discuss and facilitate key processes and activities for the implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management in the Gulf of Guinea region including the modalities for the formation and functioning of the RTG and National Task Groups (NTGs). It was explained that, to be able to achieve the ob jectives of implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries at the national level, certain key structures have to be in place including the NTG with representatives of key stakeholders in a given fishery that would take the lead in the process. An overview of the key concepts and process of the ecological risk assessment methodology was given. Participants were also introduced to the preparation of EAF baseline reports to be used as initial input for the work on ecosystem approach to fisheries. It was explained that the preparation of the report is to be led by national and regional experts and overseen by the NTG. For the exercises, the participants worked in three subgroups formed according to the geographical location of their countries as was done in the preceding workshop held in Accra in 2007. The fishery selected by the North and South groups was the shrimp trawl fishery whereas the Central group selected the beach seine fishery. The participants expresse d satisfaction with the development of a communication strategy for the project and especially with the participatory approach used.
