read moreUSAID/BaNafaa’s approach for Year 4 was to focus on consolidating achievements made and ensuring that measures, systems and procedures already developed are functioning and can be sustained when project assistance ends. Institutionalizing the adaptive management process around which the two approved co-management plans were designed has been a key priority. Continuing to reinforce the capacity of the government and civil society co-management institutions responsible for implementation of the two plans has been central to all Year 4 activities. This included accompanying them to lead and implement, with the project in a decidedly less proactive role. This annual report describes Year 4 accomplishments (October 1, 2012 – September 30, 2013).

The first was associated with the pre-audit activities for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification by Paul Medley et al., in 2008 using compiled export weights from the processing sector (Atlantic Seafood); the second was conducted by DeAlteris et al (2012) using length-weight data from the Atlantic Seafood and length frequency measurements on landings; the third was conducted by Ceesay et al (2013) using monthly length frequency data from Atlantic Seafood collected over the full year; and the last was conducted using research data on length frequency collected in a gillnet study over a one month period (Jallow et al.,2013). This document highlights the results of each stock assessment.
