    WECAFC - Report of the second meeting of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Flyingfish Working Group of the Eastern Caribbean. Bridgetown, Barbados, 8-12 January 2001 2002

    Part one of this report provides a summary of the proceedings of the Second Meeting of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Flyingfish Working Group heldat the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Barbados, from 8 to 12 January 2001. The results of the meeting revealed that there were residual deficiencies in the national data collection systems that will require further corrective action before standardization at the subregional level can be achieved. The group considered this req uirement vital to the development of a workable management regime. The group was cautious in formulating firm recommendations to establish regional cooperation in research and management. It therefore recommended that in light of the need for further adjustments in the existing data and or collection systems a ‘generic draft’ outline of a Sub-regional Flying Fish Management Plan (SFFMP) should be mooted for comments from the WECAFC Scientific Advisory Group. The second part of the report as sembles the full Managers’ Reports on the preliminary analyses and attempts at standardization of their flyingfish data sets. Six National Reports on the Social and Economic Status of Commercial Flyingfish Fishery are included in addition to Summaries of both sets of reports.
