The Regional Policy and Planning Workshop on the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) in the Caribbean: “Achieving Improved Fisheries Management and Utilization in the Wider Caribbean Region” took place at the University of the West Indies, Barbados, on 6-9 December 2011. The workshop discussed the constraints encountered when applying the CCRF in the Caribbean region and identified solutions that would enable stakeholders to further mainstream their policies, strategies and management plans with the CCRF. The workshop focused on increasing awareness and capacity in the region on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF), the International Plan of Action for the conservation and management of Sharks (IPOA-Sharks) and on the ongoing work on the Voluntary Guidelines on securing sustainable Small-scale fisheries. The Conclusions and Recommendations of the workshop have been endorsed formally, for the Wider Caribbean Region, by the Fourteenth Session of WECAFC, which was held in Panama City, Panama, 6-9 February 2012.
