Also available in:
No results found.Knowledge of the status and trends of capture fisheries, including socio-economic aspects, is a key factor for sound policy development, better decision-making and responsible fisheries management. Capacity building in data collection and fisheries statistics has always been a high priority for FAO, regional fisheries bodies and national fisheries authorities. The most recent effort by FAO was the development of this toolkit for routine small scale fisheries data collection. The toolkit comprise s a generic database (OPEN ARTFISH) and a mobile phone application for routine small scale fisheries data collection. The primary objective of the toolkit is to facilitate the implementation of cost effective and sustainable routine data collection, storage and analyses of data, using appropriate statistical procedures. -
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. -
