Synopsis (short abstract) The projects to support the management of beach seine fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea are part of the EAF-Nansen Programme (2017–2022). The long term objective of the programme is to promote sustainable fisheries that will improve the food and nutritional security of populations of partner countries. The projects to support the management of beach seine fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea are aimed at supporting the implementation of concerted management plans in order to harmonize fisheries management through regional collaboration. The projects contribute to the expected results of the EAF-Nansen Programme, particularly that 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: SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life below Water).
