INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Context
Within the framework of AWA, financed by IRD (France) and
BMBF (Germany), the SRFC is to support the member states
and associated West African partners with concrete actions
and enhanced advisory capacities on the new fisheries
management approaches.
It must be noted that coastal states of West Africa face host of
problems, notably, overexploitation of fisheries resources
together with climate change. The consequences of the two
phenomena on the fisheries resources are at the heart of
debates between managers to which researchers of the subregion take part. The multidisciplinary approach adopted in
AWA allows the interaction of ecologists, biogeochemists,
oceanographers, sociologists, economists and climatologists.
The long term objective of this conference is to promote the
development of an Observatory to monitor, simulate and
predict key parameters of the ecosystem of North West Africa.
A side the sessions, this year, the organisers would like to
emphasize the objective of the COP21 and development of
blue economy beginning with aquaculture, as well as the fight
against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing.
Scope of the Conference
The primary objective of the conference is to permit member
states of the SRFC and partners from West Africa and northern
countries to put in place a sustainable fisheries and marine
environment management systems based on biological,
ecological, laws, economic and social state of the art knowledge.
In this way the conference organizer would like:
Conference Topics
