Resumen
Descripción
Successful management of any resources involves the following steps: scientific assessment of the state of the resource; an analysis of the economic and social consequences of different action; for stocks shared by more than one country, agreement between countries on the general measures to be taken, e.g., level of the total allowable catch; decisions on the specific measures to be taken, and implementation of these measures. Each of these steps are discussed in relation to the important resour ces off the northwest African coast, with particular reference to the ways in which FAO, and especially the CECAF Project, can assist countries in carrying out each step. These could include training (e.g., in collection of statistics or stock assessment), support to resource evaluation working groups, broad economic studies of the fisheries on major stocks and support to national economic studies, and assistance in legal matters such as the drafting of legislation.
