Synopsis (short abstract) The Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is one of the most productive and biologically diverse Large Marine Ecosystems in the world. It features a diverse range of marine and coastal habitats including wetlands, estuaries, seagrass beds, mangroves and coral communities that host many endemic and migrant species. Annual fisheries production from the CCLME ranges from 2 to 3 million tonnes, the highest fisheries production of any African LME, with the total value of catches exceeding USD 3 billion per year. The CCLME provides vital food and economic resources to coastal populations bordering the Large Marine Ecosystem, and to much of West Africa. The GEF investment in the CCLME started in 2005 with a preparatory phase that initiated the development of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) of the CCLME. The preparatory phase was followed by the “Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME)” project implemented from 2010 to 2017. Under this project, the CCLME countries - Cabo Verde, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, and the Gambia - prepared and endorsed a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to address the degradation of the CCLME caused by overfishing, habitat modification and changes in water quality. The SAP focuses on solutions and management actions for the CCLME that will result in a healthy ecosystem, sustainably managed, providing services and equitable benefits for human well-being by 2030. Implementation of the SAP will address the root causes of concern at various levels by removing key barriers and putting in place a suite of measures based on the implementation of an ecosystem approach to management that can effect real change to rebuild fish stocks, reverse habitat degradation and improve water quality.
