In 2011, the Twenty-ninth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) recommended
the development of international guidelines in support of sustainable small-scale fisheries
(SSFs) as a complement to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. COFI asked that a
participatory process be applied in the development of the SSF Guidelines and, thus, a
number of national and regional consultative workshops have been undertaken to gather
inputs from all stakeholders. The FAO/CRFM/WECAFC Caribbean Regional Consultation on
the Development of International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries
took place in Kingston, Jamaica, on 6-8 December June 2012. It brought together more than
60 representatives from government, regional organizations, academia and civil society to
further discuss structure, overall considerations and thematic coverage of the future SSF
Guidelines. Advice was given concerning next steps and additional activities in the SSF
Guidelines development process and implementation based on the experiences of the
Caribbean region. The workshop confirmed the existence of a number of relevant regional
initiatives which support the harmonization of national policies, including fisheries policies.
Recognizing the particular situation of small island developing countries participants
stressed the need to build on regional and national institutions and mechanisms
for the future implementation of the SSF Guidelines.
