No results found.The second meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Banjul, Republic of the Gambia, from 5 to 12 April 2002. During this year's meeting the emphasis was on updating the database as well as knowledge of assessment methods within the group. At the beginning of the meeting a two-days course in assessment methodology was held. A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinellas, horse mackerels a nd mackerel). For each of these, actualized information until 2001 is given on stock identity, the fisheries, catch and effort, biological data and abundance indices. A number of preliminary assessments for various species were carried out. Although the group is not yet in a position to make short/long-term projections, it is expected that the pelagic stocks will decline further in case of an expansion of the (industrial) fishing effort in the area. As a general recommendation the group therefo re suggests that the fishing effort should be restricted to the current level. -

No results found.The eighteenth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Banjul, the Gambia, 26 June–1 July 2018. The first day of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing the outcomes of a two-day meeting to discuss the relevance of 2017 survey data from the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen to the Working Group. During the remaining days, the Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and catch levels. The advice for the stocks is in general given in relation to the agreed target and limit reference points (F0.1, B0.1, FMSY, and BMSY)and on the basis of the projections for the next four or five years. The structure of the report is in general the same as that of the previous Working Group reports (FAO, 2002–2017), and includes information on the small pelagic fisheries in the Canary Islands. A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinella, horse mackerel, chub mackerel, anchovy, and bonga). For each of these, standardized information is given on stock identity, fisheries, abundance indices, sampling intensity, biological data, assessment, projections, management recommendations and future research. Additional information on the different analysis and choices made by the Working Group has been included, when this was deemed necessary. The Working Group continued the exploration of alternative assessment methods as CMSY for poor data to be used together with the assessment methods traditionally used as well as the work on documenting options and information used in the assessment, thus following up on recommendations from a technical review and the CECAF Expert Group meeting on assessment methods (FAO, 2015) and on recommendations from the Scientific sub-committee. La dix-huitième réunion du groupe de travail de la FAO sur l'évaluation des espèces de petits pélagiques au large de l’Afrique nord-occidentale s'est tenue à Banjul, en Gambie, du 26 juin au 1er juillet 2018. Le 26 juin a été consacré à l'examen des résultats d'une réunion de deux jours tenue à l'IMR à Bergen pour discuter de la pertinence des données de la campagne de 2017 du N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen pour le groupe de travail. M. Erling Kaare Stenevik (IMR, Norvège) a présenté le document de travail et a dirigé les discussions avec le groupe de travail. Entre le 27 juin et le 1er juillet, le Groupe a évalué l'état des ressources en petits pélagiques au large de l’Afrique nord-occidentaleet a fait des projections sur l'évolution de l'état des stocks ainsi que sur l'effort futur et les niveaux de capture. Les avis concernant les stocks sont généralement donnés par rapport aux points de référence cibles et limites convenus (F0.1, B0.1, FMSY et BMSY) et sur la base des projections pour les quatre ou cinq prochaines années. La structure du rapport est généralement la même que celle des rapports précédents du Groupe de travail (FAO, 2002-2017) mais inclue des informations supplémentaires sur les pêcheries de petits pélagiques dans les îles Canaries. Une section distincte est consacrée à chacun des principaux groupes d’espèces (sardine, sardinelles, chinchards, maquereau, anchois et bonga). Pour chacune des espèces, des informations standardisées sont fournies sur l'identité du stock, les pêcheries, les indices d'abondance, l'intensité de l'échantillonnage, les données biologiques, l'évaluation, les projections, les recommandations de gestion et les recherches futures. Des informations supplémentaires sur les différentes analyses et choix effectués par le groupe de travail ont été incluses, lorsque cela a été jugé nécessaire. Les captures totales des principales espèces de petits pélagiques dans la sous-région ont connu une augmentation minime, passant de 2,7 millions de tonnes en 2016 à 2,71 millions de tonnes en 2017. Les captures totales de petits poissons pélagiques ont fluctué entre 1990 et 2017, avec une moyenne d'environ 1,9 millions de tonnes alors que la moyenne des cinq dernières années est de 2,5 millions de tonnes. Des campagnes de prospection couvrant l'ensemble de l'aire de répartition de l'espèce ont été effectués en 2017 par le N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen. Le groupe de travail a poursuivi l'exploration de méthodes d'évaluation alternatives comme CMSY, afin de remédier aux problèmes de données à utiliser (poor data), en plus dedes méthodes d'évaluation utiliséestraditionnellement par le groupe, ainsi que la documentation des options et des informations utilisées dans l'évaluation, suite aux recommandations issues de la réunion du groupe d’experts du COPACE sur les méthodes d’évaluation des stocks (FAO, 2015) et les recommandations du sous-comité scientifique du COPACE. -
Book (series)Technical reportLegal and institutional aspects of management arrangements for shared stocks with reference to small pelagics in Northwest Africa. / Aspects légaux et institutionnels de l’aménagement des stocks partagés: cas des poissons pélagiques côtiers de la région nord-ouest africaine. 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The present report, following a short introductory section, continues with three major sections. The first reviews and provides a comparative analysis of 39 international arrangements dealing with matters relating to the management of shared stocks. The analysis compares various aspects ranging from the scope of such arrangements to the institutional settings as well as the decision-making processes. A second section reviews existing multilateral arrangements covering the Northwest Africa regio n, and in particular arrangements including The Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal. The aspects of the analyses made in the previous section that would be appropriate for cooperative arrangements among the coastal States of the Northwest African region are identified and options for funding of management arrangements are outlined. The last section of the report draws attention to possible options for cooperative arrangements among the four States listed, and possible themes for such coopera tion.

No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
