    This document assembles three reviews of the marine shrimp and groundfish fisheries of the Brazil-Guianas shelf (northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and eastern Venezuela) and one on environmental aspects of the area. The resources reviews are based on technical reports prepared prior to and during the Workshop in Cumaná, Venezuela and during previous meetings of the stock assessment experts of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources i n the Brazil-Guianas Shelf. The document also contains ten Management Reports, prepared by fishery scientists for presentation at the “Meeting of Fisheries Managers and Ministers of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf”, held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 26-29 March 2001. These Management Reports are the culmination of stock assessment work carried out since the establishment of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf in 1988, in particular in the four Workshops sponsored by CFRAMP and FAO and WECAFC and funded by CIDA, DANIDA (GCP/INT/575/DEN) and Norway (GCP/INT/648/NOR). Each report contains a number of recommendations for fisheries management, further research and international co-operation in data collection and assessments. Annex 2 contains a list of references on shrimp and groundfish species and environmental issues of the area, used in the vario us Workshops. This list was updated as far as published FAO documents are concerned.

    The Workshop was organized within the framework of the FAO/WECAFC ad hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish resources of the Brazil-Guianas Shelf that was established in 1984 at the recommendation of the WECAF Commission, given the nature and characteristics of the fisheries resources in this region. The Group has been meeting yearly since 1996 to undertake stock assessments of the main commercial species of shrimp and groundfish. One of the main objectives was to use the results o f these assessments to investigate alternative options for managing these fisheries and to provide scientific advice for management. These stock assessment workshops were facilitated by FAO, through its Regular Programme and inter-regional Projects GCP/INT/575/DEN – “Training in Tropical Fish Stock Assessment” and GCP/INT/648/NOR- “Assistance to Developing Countries for the Implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries” and CFRAMP (CARICOM Fisheries Resources Assess ment and Management Programme).
