Synopsis (short abstract) The workshop was organized and financed by project GCP/RAF/302/EEC "Improvement of the legal framework for fisheries cooperation, management and development of coastal States of West Africa", within the framework of the priorities defined in its work programme, and in response to a recommendation of the round table on management and regulation of fisheries in the area of competence of the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission, also held in Dakar, Senegal from 1-3 July 1996. The round table considere d that for many reasons such as their nature, their transboundary character and their interdependence, small pelagic stocks should take priority over other resources as the object of a dialogue between the States concerned. The workshop brought together representatives of Cape Verde, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Sierra Leone as well as representatives of States and agencies and researchers concerned by the management of small pelagics in the region. The wor kshop examined, notably, the situation of small pelagic resources in the divisions concerned, the world situation of small pelagics and in particular consumption patterns, economic aspects of their exploitation, general aspects of management policies and conservation measures implemented. Many recommendations on future activities were set out, in particular on the role of and mechanisms for regional and sub-regional cooperation.

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 overall objective of the Working Group is to assess the state of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and make recommendations on fisheries management and exploitation options aimed at ensuring optimal and sustainable use of small pelagic fish resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The twelfth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Dakar, Senegal from 21 to 25 May 2012. The meeting was funded by the countries of the region, and it was organized by FAO and CRODT Dakar, Senegal. Altogether 17 scientists from seven countries and FAO participated. The chairman of the Group was Birane Sambe from the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project (CCLME). A first editing of th e report was made by the participants of the Working Group. Final technical editing was done by Ana Maria Caramelo and Merete Tandstad. We are grateful to Marie-Thérèse Magnan for her assistance in the final editing of this document.
