Overlapping membership & mandatesSlide4

Since 2012 CRFM, OSPESCA and WECAFC collaborate

actively through joint Working Groups

OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM/CFMC Working Group on Spiny Lobster (2012)WECAFC/OSPESCA/CRFM/CFMC Working Group on Recreational Fisheries (2012)

CFMC/OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM Queen Conch Working Group (2012)CRFM/WECAFC/JICA/IFREMER Working Group on Fisheries

using Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs)

(2012)

CRFM/WECAFC Flying fish in the Eastern Caribbean Working Group (2012)

WECAFC Working Group on the management of deep-sea fisheries

(2012)

CFMC/WECAFC Spawning Aggregations Working Group (2012)

WECAFC/CRFM/IFREMER Working Group on shrimp and

groundfish of the North-Brazil Guianas shelf (2012)OSPESCA/WECAFC Working Group on Sharks (2014) Regional Working Group on IUU fishing (RWG-IUU) (2014)

Advantages:

Cheaper

Avoid duplication

Reduce overlap

Time-effective

Sharing of responsibilities

Increase expert inputs

Increase harmonization of methods and measures

Better sharing of information

Better

coverage

of

important fisheriesSlide5

3 RFBs work together in the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf

Areas for collaboration

Priority areas in CRFM-OSPESCA Joint Action PlanJoint Technical Working Groups (e.g. spiny lobster, queen conch, IUU, shrimp &

groundfish

)

Implementation of

CLME+ SAP and CLME+ Project Document actions and activities

related to RFBs mandate and scopeSlide13

RFBs agreeTo work towards harmonization

of their respective policy and legal frameworks for fisheriesTo cooperate on relevant scientific and fisheries management projectsTo establish

reciprocal observer arrangementsTo share reports of their sessions and meetings of their subsidiary bodies and projects

Through the Interim Coordination Arrangement for Sustainable Fisheries, the 3 RFBS aim to achieve:

Increased sharing of data and information, harmonization of stock assessment methods, etc.

More collaboration between groups of countries with different political, cultural, economic backgrounds in management of shared resources

Reduction in costs and greater resource mobilizationGreater impact of measures taken on the shared stocks and the fisheries in the region Slide19

Concluding remarks

Test phase ongoing

Some successes already: Queen Conch, Flying fish, Spiny LobsterOngoing

developmentsWECAFC members launched in June 2016 process to establish an RFMO in the Western Central Atlantic CRFM in process to be assigned Competent Agency under the Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy
