Book (series)Science and Management of Small Pelagics. Symposium on Science and the Challenge of Managing Small Pelagic Fisheries on Shared Stocks in Northwest Africa, 11 -14 March 2008, Casablanca, Morocco / Science et aménagement des petits pélagiques.

No results found.The Symposium “Science and the Challenge of Managing Small Pelagic Fisheries on Shared Stocks in Northwest Africa” took place in Casablanca, Morocco, from 11 to 14 March 2008. It was attended by around 100 participants. Forty-three oral presentations and 30 posters were presented. The Symposium was split into four main sessions: resources and exploitation–biology and ecology of main resources and status of fisheries; dynamics and variability of pelagic fish populations and environmenta l influences; methods and models for assessing small pelagic fish stocks; and management of fisheries on shared resources. The Symposium ended with a general discussion aiming to identify specific problems to address as well as providing recommendations on ways forward. These Proceedings present a summary of the various sessions as well as on the outcomes of the discussion. They also provide scientifically reviewed papers and many of the papers in support of posters presented at the Symposium (non-scientifically reviewed). The papers and posters are available at www.smallpelagics2008.org.

PresentationIdentification of key issues for the sustainable management of small pelagic fisheries in West Africa through the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
Webinar 4: Opportunities for Ecosystem based Adaptation in Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
2018Also available in:
No results found.The presentation aims to showcase an application of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) in the development of the regional management framework for pelagic stocks in North Western Africa (Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia). The presentation highlights the strategic importance of these fish species in the region for both food security and economic development. Despite this importance, the abundance and catch for these species is dwindling due to unsustainable fishing activities and some environmental factors that include climate change. To address this, it was realized that, an adaptive management for these fish species was needed at the regional level to try to harmonize different management objectives among different countries in the sub-region. To this end, a regional management framework for small pelagic was developed. The intent is to ensure the sustainability of these important resources, to preserve their biodiversity and to promote good governance in the fisheries sector in the sub-region. -
