Summary:
This circular contains the findings of the independent cost-benefit assessment of the options for strategic re-orientation of WECAFC, which was conducted over the period May – December 2015. The three options assessed are:1) WECAFC should remain a regional level fisheries advisory commission as a FAO Article VI body and continue to coordinate joint work with the (sub-) regional advisory/management bodies; 2) WECAFC should become a regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) as an FAO Article XIV body, with a mandate to make legally binding decisions, and3) WECAFC should become a regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) independent established outside of FAO’s legal framework with a mandate to make legally binding decisions.
