    Shared sardinella: Supporting the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries for the management of shared Sardinella stocks in northwest Africa is an initiative by the EAF Nansen Programme. The long-term objective of the programme is to support sustainable fisheries to improve food and nutrition security for people in partner countries. The Shared sardinella project responds to the need for regional collaboration on the management of shared sardinella stocks. The regional and national projects aim to promote an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) in strenghtening capacities, structures and fisheries management processes through the development and use of the fisheries management cycle (FMC). The initiative contributes to the expected results of the EAF-Nansen Programme: “fisheries management institutions manage fisheries according to the EAF principles” and related indicators. The projects contribute also towards achieving the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG1 ("no poverty"), SDG2 ("zero hunger"), SDG5 ("gender equality"), SDG13 ("climate change") and SDG14 ("life below water").

    Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, intersectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks. The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Gambia with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Gambia's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAF. This report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Gambia. Drafted in July 2021, the report was submitted to the national authorities of Gambia in November 2021. The Gambia Fisheries Department endorsed this EAF Legal Report of Gambia in April 2022.
