Book Description
The Fisheries and Biological Data Preparation Workshop for the Shrimp and Groundfish Fisheries of the North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (NBSLME) was held in Bridgetown, Barbados 23-25 October, 2018. The meeting brought together 14 participants including fisheries officers, government organizations and FAO. The main objective of the workshop was to provide training on data preparation for stock assessment purposes and fisheries status/trends monitoring, enhance capacities in fisheries data and statistics collection at the national and sub-regional levels, and review status of data collection for the shrimp and groundfish fisheries of the NBSLME. The current state of the Fisheries and Resource Monitoring System (FIRMS) stocks and fisheries inventories for the NBSLME was reviewed and updated with inputs from participants. Ongoing work on the Data Repository and Decision Support System (DSS) for the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems (CLME+) Project and its application in the NBSLME was presented and discussed. A template for recording fisheries and biological data of key species in the NBSLME for stock assessment purposes was reviewed by participants. Furthermore, for each country and fishery, participants reviewed availability of data including, inter alia, time series of landings and fishing effort, length frequencies and socio-economic information. Additionally, a review was made of the biological parameters (e.g. length-weight relationship, growth, maturity) available for key shrimp and groundfish species in the NBSLME and data gaps identified. Information on genetic studies on shrimp and groundfish species in the NBSLME region served as background for discussion on the stock structure

Book Description
An approach that encompasses the human and natural dimensions of ecosystems is one that the Wider Caribbean Region knows it must adopt and implement, in order to ensure the sustainable use of the region's shared marine resources. This volume contributes towards that vision, bringing together the collective knowledge and experience of scholars and practitioners within the Wider Caribbean to begin the process of assembling a road map towards marine ecosystem based management (EBM) for the region. It also serves a broader purpose of providing stakeholders and policy actors in each of the world's sixty-four Large Marine Ecosystems, with a comparative example of the challenges and information needs required to implement principled ocean governance generally and marine EBM in particular, at multiple levels. Additionally, the volume serves to supplement the training of graduate level students in the marine sciences by enhancing interdisciplinary understanding of challenges in implementing marine EBM.

Book Description
In 2011, the Twenty-ninth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) recommended the development of international guidelines in support of sustainable small-scale fisheries (SSFs) as a complement to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. COFI asked that a participatory process be applied in the development of the SSF Guidelines and, thus, a number of national and regional consultative workshops have been undertaken to gather inputs from all stakeholders. The FAO/CRFM/WECAFC Caribbean Regional Consultation on the Development of International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries took place in Kingston, Jamaica, on 6-8 December 2012. It brought together more than 60 representatives from government, regional organisations, academia and civil society to further discuss structure, overall considerations and thematic coverage of the future SSF Guidelines.

Book Description
Dans un passé assez récent, un intérêt sans précédent s'est développé concernant les ressources globales. Nous nous rendons maintenant compte que les ressources biologiques sont loin d'être illimitées et pendant les dernières décennies du 20ème siècle, des efforts ont débuté pour contrôler nos usages de l'environnement et qui agissent les uns avec les autres dans les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons finalement. Le projet "Mers au millénaire": Une Evatuation Environmentale sur la zone côtière couvre le secteur où vit plus d'un quart de l'humanité, et jusque au bas du plateau continental. Ces trois livres se concentrent sur la biosphère où les interactions de l'homme avec les mers et leurs systèmes biologiques et physiques sont le plus sensibles. 135 chapitres écrits par les experts internationaux et les scientifiques travaillant dans ce domaine offrent un sommaire unique des mers et des océans du monde. À la fin du millénaire les auteurs à travers le monde ont examiné l'état de nos habitats marins et côtiers. Pour la première fois, ils ont uni leurs efforts de par le monde pour s'assurer que ces habitats restent dans un état de fonctionnement durable et stable; l'information a été documentée et assemblée dans une source bibliographique unique. "Mers au millénaire" fournit aux scientifiques dans le monde entier une occasion unique pour s'enrichir de toutes ces expériences. Les trois volumes de "Mers au millénaire" couvrent des chapîtres d'importance globale et régionale comme : description biologique des eaux côtières et du plateau continental; développement et utilisation de la zone côtière; effets des dragages et autres techniques d'accrétion sédimentaire; effet dans le temps des déversement de polluants;de pêche; méthodes et techniques de gestion utilisées pour gérer en continu les écosystèmes. Plus de 800 figures comprenant des cartes, les graphiques, les dessins au trait et les photograph.
