Descripción
There has been a steady decline in fisheries production in the Western Central Atlantic region in recent years. Given the recognized need to improve fisheries management, secure sustainable fisheries and develop the fisheries sector in the region, it was anticipated that investment in regional fisheries management would reduce reliance on imports. During the 16th Session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission, the decision was taken to launch the process leading to the establishment of a Regional Fisheries Management Organization, which was expected to contribute to the sustainability of fisheries resources through better fisheries governance at regional level. The present project was implemented between 2017 to 2019 to follow up on this important question for members of the Commission, as well as to prepare the background documents for and support the organization of the first preparatory meeting, which was to mark the practical phase of the transformation of the Commission.
