Descripción
The project responded to an urgent need expressed at the 14th and 15th sessions of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (in 2012 and 2014, respectively) to increase the availability of essential information for fisheries management. This was to be achieved through interagency/ interinstitutional and interproject collaboration in the wider Caribbean region on fisheries, aquaculture and related issues, building on the comparative advantages of each, in support of responsible development and management of the sector. The specific objectives of this project were to ( i ) begin the operations of the transversal Working Group on Fisheries Data and Statistics by firmly establishing it and supporting its first meeting, (ii) endorse a set of minimum data requirements and standards and identification of pipeline ones and (iii) create a functional Regional Database prototype targeting the five main regionally shared stocks (spiny lobster, queen conch, flying fish, billfish and shrimp and groundfish ) and their fisheries.
