No results found.Coastal fisheries are vital to millions of people, providing healthy food and supporting livelihoods. The Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI) aims to make coastal fisheries more sustainable and inclusive, addressing the pressures unsustainable practices that affect marine environments, including precious ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs. By enhancing policy frameworks, strengthening capacity, and fostering partnerships, CFI works to preserve marine resources, ensuring coastal fisheries continue contributing to food security and socio-economic development. In Cabo Verde, the CFI collaborated with the government to develop the first National Gender Strategy for Fisheries, ensuring women's inclusion in decision-making. The initiative also supported 526 fisherfolk across seven associations helping them register as public utilities, enabling access to local benefits. In Côte d’Ivoire, in partnership with the NGO Afrique Verte Environnement, the CFI restored 350 hectares of mangroves in Fresco and Sassandra. Local communities, especially women, were trained in mangrove planting techniques, with awareness campaigns highlighting mangroves' ecological importance. In Ecuador, the CFI worked with a cooperative of 65 artisanal mahi-mahi fishers to qualify for traceability labels by installing cameras and electronic logbooks on fishing boats. -
Book (series)Promotion of coastal fisheries management. 1. Local-level effort regulation in Senegalese fisheries. 2000

The analytical framework used throughout most of this study is directly inspired from transaction-cost economics, implying that a lot of attention is devoted to monitoring and enforcement costs involved in collective schemes. One of its most important contributions is to show that, with the help of these tools combined with conventional market power considerations, successes and failures of different groups of fishermen according to their technique and site of operati on can be well accounted for. The outline is as follows. In Section 1, background information regarding Senegalese small-scale marine fisheries are provided and the methodology of the study based on cross-section data is shortly described. In Section 2, an historical sketch of all recent effort-limiting schemes attempted along the Senegalese coast is presented. The methods used to limit fishing efforts, which vary according to the fishery concerned, are dis cussed with a view to understanding their rationales in the light of the specific circumstances surrounding them. Section 3, addresses the incidence of rule violations as perceived by the fishermen themselves, tackled by using the multinomial logit approach on the basis of our survey data. Section 4 is devoted to fitting a time-series econometric model to price and output data. Section 5 summarizes the main results of the study. -
