Resumen
Descripción
The objectives of the workshop were to examine the implications of national and joint management of shared stocks, to explore possible ways to achieve sustainable management of shared stocks for the benefit of coastal countries and to suggest the way forward for a regional management system. As a general recommendation the group suggests to support the current FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagics in Northwest Africa. This group should be furthered and strengthened in order to maintain a high level of resource assessment studies in the coming years and the long-term future. Fisheries Scientific Institutes should identify research priorities and seek national budgetary allocationsto sustain long-term research. Countries should develop national management plans in support of a future joint regional management system.
