    CCLME. Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project

    Also available in:
    Countries of the CCLME region have unanimously identified the decline of living marine resources (fish, fisheries resources and marine species of conservation concern) as the most important transboundary worry. This is in view of the exceptional socioeconomic importance of fisheries to the region, and as a source of food for West Africa and beyond. The TDA analyses each transboundary concern, identifies its cause, impact on the LME and its socioeconomic consequences. A number of solutions are pr oposed for each concern. These solutions lay the groundwork for the Strategic Action Programme.
