Liberia, 23-24 November 2017
Outline Profile of fisheries and marine resources for the country Brief overview for the focus fisheries Fishery Data Form Fishery Identity Exploited Marine Resources Indicators Exploitation and Socio-economics Sources and quality of Information Issues, challenges and gaps
FIRMS Fishery inventory FISHERY: A Fishery is an activity leading to the harvesting of fish, within the boundaries of a defined area. The fishery concept fundamentally gathers indication of human fishing activity, including from economic, management, biological/environmental and technological viewpoints (FIRMS 2006, modified from FAO glossary of fisheries) . A statistical fishing unit is a particular type of fishing activity, conducted by a single flag country using a vessel and its major fishing gear. Key data for fishery unit identification: Species (target and bycatch) Fishing area Gear Flag state Management entities
Profile of fisheries and marine resources for the country EEZ extension <km2> Geographical overview National boundaries <list of countries> Main international agreements <list of agreements> Maritime Domain Joint management plans <list of management plans> Catches <tons> General figures on production sector Employments <number of direct jobs> National fleet <total number of vessels> Fishery vessels Foreign fleet <total number of vessels> Stocks assessed <species (year)> Trends and issues <Free text> <Please insert missing information>
Brief overview for the focus fisheries Country overall production (marine capture): <Value in tons> Fishery Catches/Landings (tons) Percentage from overall country production <Extend table as needed> <Use one row for each fishery>
Fishery data form Fishery: <enter fishery name> (1) Fishery Identity (e.g. Country EEZ) Fishery area name Characteristics of the fishing ground <check controlled terms> Depth zone <check controlled terms> Horizontal/vertical distribution <check controlled terms> Bottom type <check list of gears> Fishing gear (e.g. Ministry of Fisheries) Management entity Free text Management measures Free text Trend of the fishery <Please refer to the FIRMS Excel inventory for full list of codes and terms> <Use one slide for each type of fishery >
Fishery data form Fishery: <enter fishery name> (1) Exploited Marine Resources Target species Common name Scientific name Stock assessed by CECAF (Y/N) Bycatch Common name Scientific name Stock assessed by CECAF (Y/N) <Use one slide for each type of fishery; add rows for species as necessary> <See list of CECAF stocks to verify if a species in available or not in the FAO-FIRMS Fact Sheets>
Fishery data form Fishery: <enter fishery name> (1) Potential indicators in support of the Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs): Exploitation Fishery Indicator Unit <Depending by the measure (USD, Day, Ton, Persons, Vessel, etc.)> Time Frame <A single year value or a range (e.g. last 5 years)> Value <The actual value> Catch Ton Landed volume (catch minus discards) Ton CPUE Kg/day Fishing Effort Annual days <Please provide available data>
Fishery data form Fishery: <enter fishery name> (1) Potential indicators in support of the Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs): Exploitation cont. Fishery Indicators participation in the fishery Unit <Depending by the measure (USD, Day, Ton, Persons, Vessel, etc.)> Time Frame <A single year value or a range (e.g. last 5 years)> Value <The actual value> Number Vessels (V) or Fishing Unit (FU) Number (V)/(FU) Fleet Tonnage GRT Fleet Power KW Number of ports/landing sites Number Number Fishermen Persons <Please provide available data>
Fishery data form Fishery: <enter fishery name> (1) Potential indicators in support of the Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs): Socioeconomic Fishery Indicator Unit <Depending by the measure (USD or local currency or CFA (West African franc), Day, Ton, Persons, Vessel, etc.)> Time Frame <A single year value or a range (e.g. last 5 years)> Value <The actual value> Landed Value Landed Average Price (calculated from total value divided by total catch) Gross Value Added <Please provide available data>
Sources and quality of Information - Summary - Fishery Data Source (e.g. national database, openArtfish, ) Quality (e.g. Reference year, relative error, ) <Please discuss the sources and their quality utilized to fill this presentation>
Issues, Challenges and Gaps - Summary - Gaps (Y/N) Description Fishery statistics (landings, efforts, fleet size) Socioeconomic data Biological data (Length, age, life history) Technical capacity (knowledge/training) Legal/policy/Institutional (e.g. no reporting required by law) Coordination and management of data collection Data sharing <Please fill the slide according to your work experience and issues faced when compiling this presentation>
