This document is the final version of the report of the second session of the Scientific Advisory Group of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), held in Le Robert, Martinique, from 28 to 30 April 2003. Major topics discussed during the session were: the state of fisheries in the WECAFC region; the review of the activities of the WECAFC ad hoc working groups; fisheries research in the WECAFC region; the current strategy of WECAFC; and a proposal for voluntary contrib utions to support the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Caribbean spiny lobster. Among the matters highlighted for consideration by the Commission were: the need to strengthen the linkages between the activities of the various projects in the region and the activities of the ad hoc working groups; promotion of interaction among scientists, managers and decision-makers by all the working groups; the need for adequate commitment and support for the working groups to maintain their momentum and effectiveness; more financial support to facilitate the activities of the working groups, which was a serious limiting factor; and the need for a benefit/cost analysis of the working group strategy adopted by WECAFC for the delivery of technical assistance. The research priorities identified by the first meeting maintained their importance as limited progress has been made. The growing emphasis on ecosystem approaches has resulted in the need to place more emphasis on the medium pr iority list. The list of matters for the attention of the Commission is included in Appendix D.
