Working groups
The first CCLME PSC meeting agreed on the establishment of a number of technical working groups to assist the development process of a TDA and the elaboration of a SAP for the CCLME.
In addition, the CCLME project and the participating countries will contribute to the upkeep and strenghthening of the two existing CECAF working groups on stock assessment of Demersal Ressources and Pelagic Resources to ensure the required stock assessment information is availaible on the CCLME region. Countries have been requested to nominate experts to participate in each of the working groups.
The working groups to be established by the CCLME project are:
Component 1: Multi-country process and frameworks for understanding and addressing priority transboundary concerns (Process component)
- Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) Working Group
- Strategic Action Plan (SAP) Working Group
- Climate Change Working Group
Component 2: Strengthened policies and management, based on improved knowledge and demonstration actions, to address priority transboundary concerns on declining marine living resources of the CCLME (Marine living resources component)
Component 3: Strengthened knowledge, capacity and policy base for transboundary assessment and management of habitat, biodiversity and water quality critical to fisheries (Habitat, biodiversity and water quality component)
