Resumen
Descripción
The workshop’s objectives were to revise and validate national inventories of fisheries, building capacity and appraisal on how such inventory approach can contribute to national fisheries monitoring goals and regional information sharing in support to fishery management, and develop regional collaboration towards functional data workflow. The workshop results will be conveyed to the WECAF Commission meeting in March 2010. This workshop, involving officers from national, sub-regional and region al organizations in the Western Central Atlantic region was the fourth of this kind in the FIRMS initiative. It came after the ones held in CECAF, RECOFI and SWIOFC areas, and confirmed the heterogeneity of the regions and the need of adapting such experiences to the nature of the places and the political and geographical realities. It was held back-to-back with the WECAFC SAG-VI and the GCFI meetings to minimize costs and optimize the participation of the experts. Participants were fisheries ex perts from Anguilla, Barbados (CERMES), El Salvador, France (Guyana and Martinique), Trinidad and Tobago, the United States of America, CRFM, CLME Project, GCFI, CFMC, SICA/OSPESCA, CNFO-CU, the FIRMS’ Secretariat, the WECAFC Secretariat, and two FAO-HQs technical support staff.
