No results found.The seventh meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Agadir, Morocco, from 17 to 26 April 2007. 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 advices for the stocks are given in relation to the agreed reference points F0.1, FMSY, B0.1 and BMSY and on the basis of the projections for the next five years. The results of the assessments indicate that the stock of round sardinella is overexploited and consequently a decrease in effort in the total sardinella fishery was recommended. The Atlantic horse mackerel was also found to be overexploited whereas the Cunene horse mackerel was found to be fully exploited. It was recommended that the effort in 2008 should decrease about 20 pour cent of the actual effort. The sardine stock in Zone A+B was found overexploited and the Working Group recommended to decrease the effort by 20 pour cent corresponding to a catch level of 350 000 tonnes in 2008. The stock of sardine in Zone C was found to be not fully exploited and it was noted that the total catch level may be temporarily increased, but should be adjusted to natural changes in the stock. The mackerel was found not to be fully exploited, the catches should not exceed in 2008 the current level of 200 000 tonnes. It was not possible to reach relia ble conclusions from the assessment models applied to bonga and anchovy but, in the case of anchovy, acoustic estimates show a decrease in biomass from 2005 to 2006. As a precautionary measure, the catch level for this species should not exceed the average over the last three years of 115 000 tonnes. For bonga, the recommendation from 2006 is maintained as no new information is available on this species, and the Working Group recommended that the catch level should not exceed 42 000 tonnes. -

No results found.A permanent FAO working group, composed of scientists from the coastal states and from countries or organizations that play an active role in northwest African pelagic fisheries, was established in March 2001. The main objective of the working group is to propose options for stock management and exploitation of their fisheries and provide catch advice for each year, as well as to improve the assessment of the small pelagic resources for the economic benefit of Morocco, Mauritania, the Gambia and Senegal and ensure optimal sustainability of the resources. The meeting was held in Agadir, Morocco, from 31 March to 10 April 2003. A total of 19 scientists from eight countries and FAO participated. As a precautionary approach, the working group recommended that the catch levels of small pelagics should not exceed the average recorded during the last five years. For sardinella, it recommended that the combined catch of both species in 2004 should not exceed the mean le vel of the preceding three years, i.e. 420 000 tonnes. -

No results found.La population mondiale vit en grande partie dans les zones côtières et a tendance à s'y concentrer continuellement. La santé, le bien-être et, dans certains cas, la survie même des populations côtières dépendent de la salubrité et du bon état des systèmes côtiers, notamment les estuaires, les zones humides côtières, les bassins hydrographiques et versants associés, et les eaux côtières proches des rivages. Pour être durables, les activités exercées par l'homme dans les zones côtières doivent s'a ppuyer sur un milieu marin écologiquement sain. Le littoral subit une pression urbaine considérable. Il concentre les agglomérations urbaines les plus importantes des pays et près de 80% des travailleurs permanents de secteurs divers d’activité (industrie, tourisme, agriculture etc.). Il représente un important pôle d’attraction pour différentes activités touristiques, industrielles et commerciales et fait l’objet d’une forte spéculation foncière et un lieu d’urbanisation anarchique provoquant s a dégradation et entrainant ainsi la pollution de nombreux de ses sites. Les principaux risques qui pèsent sur la santé et la productivité du milieu marin/côtier résultent ainsi des activités menées par l'homme sur terre (zones côtières et intérieur des pays). Ce phénomène est observable à l’échelle mondiale. -

No results found.As part of component 2 of the MSP, the CCLME wants to provide support to the countries of the sub-region in order to enable the integration of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) in the management of national and transboundary fisheries and to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.This is why I was entrusted with carrying out, for Mauritania, an analysis of existing fisheries management or development plans and frameworks at the national and local level in order to understand the opportunities and constraints linked to their implementation and their consistency with the AEP and will have to work closely with all stakeholders, to identify what worked and what did not work in the process of developing these national plans. During the analysis process, the national expert will also identify the needs and interests of women and men and suggest the inclusion of initiatives that adequately take into account the interests and priorities of women both in the plans. national as well as in cross-border frameworks. -
