Book (series)Technical reportThe impact of marine litter on the beach seine fishery of four countries in the Gulf of Guinea: Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Togo / L'impact des déchets marins sur la pêche à la senne de plage de quatre pays dans le Golfe de Guinée: Bénin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana et Togo
A preliminary investigation of the social and economic impacts of marine litter on fishing communities / Une étude préliminaire des impacts sociaux et économiques des déchets marins sur les communautés de pêcheurs

No results found.Artisanal sea-based capture fisheries are a key source of nutrition and income in many parts of West Africa. Marine litter has significantly increased in recent years due to the rise of single-use plastics and inadequate waste management, particularly affecting developing countries with limited infrastructure. While there is widespread concern that marine litter negatively impacts beach seine fishing, evidence to support this is lacking. This report presents a preliminary investigation of the social and economic effects of marine litter on beach seine fisheries in four Gulf of Guinea countries: Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo. The study, conducted under the EAF-Nansen Programme, aims to support better fisheries management. Common sampling protocols were used to collect equivalent sociodemographic, fisheries, and environmental data, both qualitative and quantitative, to record the impact of marine litter on fishing communities. The study's results will help define local, national, and regional management measures to reduce marine waste and improve the sustainability of coastal communities, thus contributing to poverty reduction and food security.La pêche artisanale de capture en mer est une source essentielle de nourriture et de revenus dans de nombreuses régions d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les déchets marins ont considérablement augmenté ces dernières années, suite à la croissance des plastiques à usage unique et à une gestion des déchets inadéquate, affectant particulièrement les pays en développement avec des infrastructures limitées. Bien qu'il y ait une préoccupation généralisée quant à l'impact négatif des déchets marins sur la pêche à la senne de plage, les preuves à l'appui de cette affirmation sont insuffisantes. Ce rapport présente une enquête préliminaire sur les impacts sociaux et économiques des déchets marins sur la pêche à la senne de plage dans quatre pays du Golfe de Guinée: Bénin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana et Togo. L'étude, réalisée dans le cadre du Programme EAF-Nansen, vise à soutenir une meilleure gestion des pêches. Des protocoles d'échantillonnage communs ont été utilisés pour collecter des données sociodémographiques, halieutiques et environnementales équivalentes, qualitatives et quantitatives, afin de déterminer l'impact des déchets marins sur les communautés de pêcheurs. Les résultats de l'étude aideront à définir des mesures de gestion locales, nationales et régionales pour réduire les déchets marins et améliorer la durabilité des communautés côtières, contribuant ainsi à la réduction de la pauvreté et à l'amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire.
