No results found.The fourth meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources – Subgroup North, was organized in Fuengirola, Spain, 18-27 November 2013. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone o f the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal. For reasons of heterogeneity, the species and stocks assessed by the Working Group were divided into four groups: hake, other demersal fish, shrimps and cephalopods. For each of these groups information is provided on the fisheries: sampling schemes and sampling intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends in catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices, assessment of the stocks, management m easures recommendations and future research. Approximately 26 different stocks-units were analyzed and the results discussed. The quality and trends in basic data (catch, effort, length distribution) collected by each different country and the sampling system represented some of the main discussion topics of this Working Group. The results of the assessments confirm the conclusion reached at the last meeting in 2010 that most of the stocks assessed are overexploited. A summary of the assessments and management measures is given at the end of this report. -

No results found.A permanent FAO/CECAF Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal countries and from those countries or organizations playing an active role in demersal fisheries in Northwest Africa, was created by CECAF in 2000. The first meeting of Subgroup North was organized in Saly, Senegal, from 14 to 23 September 2004. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone of the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal.

Un Groupe de travail permanent FAO/COPACE, composé de scientifiques des États côtiers et des pays ou organisations qui jouent un rôle actif dans les pêcheries démersales de l’Afrique nord-ouest a été créé par le COPACE en 2000. La première réunion du Sous-groupe Nord a été organisée à Saly, Sénégal, du 14 au 23 septembre 2004. L’objectif général du Groupe de travail est de contribuer à améliorer l’aménagement des ressources démersales en Afrique du Nord-Ouest par l’évaluation de l’état des stocks et des pêcheries afin d’assurer une meilleure utilisation de ces ressources pour le bénéfice des pays côtiers. La zone d’étude du Groupe de travail est la zone COPACE de l’océan Atlantique Centre-Est, entre Cap Spartel et le sud du Sénégal. En raison de l’hétérogénéité des espèces et des stocks, le Groupe de travail sur les démersaux a été divisé en quatre groupes: merlus, autres démersaux, crevettes et céphalopodes. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
