| dc.description | A workshop to evaluate the R/V DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys in Northwest Africa was held in Bergen, Norway, from 28 September to 2 October 1988. Participants were representing the countries of the region, Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal as well as Norway, Russia and FAO. The purpose of the workshop was to review the information available on the resources in the region and define better survey design strategies for the future. The workshop stressed the importance of an ecosystem approach to survey region resources, given their migratory and most likely shared character. A working group was established to lie out guidelines for future surveys. The difficulty to survey shallow areas was mentioned. The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) was recommended. Target strength (TS) studies of the main species in the region should be undertaken. Finally the workshop stressed the need for training and updating knowledge of the scientists in the region, mainly in relation to the use of new acoustic equipment and techniques. | |
