    The meeting recommended that technical management measures be embedded in a broad regional management plan addressing ecological, social and institutional issues for adoption at the sixteenth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission. The meeting was in favour of standardizing available data and information for joint assessment and comparison purposes. Joint regional assessments should be made through OSPESCA, CRFM and WECAFC, and could be led by the countries who volunteered to carry out this task. The Terms of Reference for the Working Group were discussed and updated, and a Convener for the Working Group was elected. La primera reunión del Grupo de Trabajo de OSPESCA/COPACO/CRFM/CFMC sobre la langosta espinosa del Caribe tuvo lugar en la Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, del 21 al 23 de octubre de 2014. Se recopiló y revisó los datos de captura y esfuerzo nacionales, las metodologías de evaluación de las poblaciones y las medidas de gestión para la langosta espinosa del Caribe. Las presentaciones de los países y el informe de la FAO/CRFM presentados, proporcionaron contribuciones importantes a esta discusión. La reunión notó una mejora global en la recopilación y la gestión de datos, y actualmente la mayoría de países tienen la capacidad de llevar a cabo evaluaciones de las poblaciones. El estado de las poblaciones segun parece ha mejorado en comparación con 2006Sin embargo, los tomadores de decisiones y hacedores de políticas pesqueras fueron instadas a tomar acción concreta para mejorar más las prácticas de ordenamiento a lo largo de la región.

    The sixth meeting of the Working Group on Aquaculture (WGA) of the Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) was held in Muscat, Oman, from 21 to 23 October 2014 and was attended by representatives from seven member countries. The WGA reviewed the outcome and recommendations of the sixth and seventh sessions of the Commission. The WGA noted the importance of the timely collection, submission and sharing of accurate aquaculture statistics and other relevant aquaculture information. A draft recom mendation on the minimum reporting of aquaculture data and information was discussed. The meeting agreed that RECOFI members would provide their comments at the next session of the Commission, when the recommendation will be presented for adoption. In the event the recommendation is adopted, it was agreed that the aquaculture data and information would be best submitted by the individual countries through specifically designed and dedicated templates accessible from the Regional Aquaculture Info rmation System (RAIS) website. The meeting discussed the RAIS following the presentation of the web analysis report, which indicated a steady interest in the information system particularly among the Arabic-speaking countries. Actions to further consolidate and expand the system were discussed, along with the need to improve the overall communication outputs at the national and regional levels. The WGA finalized its proposed programme of work for the next intersessional period, based also on the WGA programme adopted by the Commission at its seventh session. The main activities identified for the next work plan include: a training workshop on aquaculture risk analysis; a technical workshop on aquaculture recirculation technologies; a training workshop on aquaponics; hands-on training in marine hatchery technologies; and a technical meeting to share regional experiences in the use of GIS and spatial analysis in coastal zone management and marine aquaculture planning and development. In view of emerging aquatic animal health issues, the WGA further agreed that, during the implementation of the workshop on aquaculture risk analysis, the technical experts from the member countries would also discuss priority issues related to aquatic animal biosecurity and identify activities that required action. The WGA recognized that the Commission, based on its current level of financial contribution, might not have the required budget to implement a comprehensive aquaculture programme, and it recommended that some activities could be implemented with extrabudgetary funds. The WGA Alternate Focal Point of Oman was nominated as the new WGA Chairperson, while the WGA Focal Point of Bahrain was nominated as the new WGA Vice-Chairperson.
