Abstract/OtherAbstract

This workshop was organised by the Marine Conservation office in Dakar of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Novib (Dutch development NGO), Fenagie (National Federation of fisheries collectives in Senegal) and Scomber Consultancy (consultancy in The Netherlands for fisheries management and marine wildlife), with the financial support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (USA). The workshop proper was preceded by a one-day introduction and application to ‘FishMan’. FishMan is a role-play that simulates long distance fleet fisheries in developing nations’ coastal waters in a computer network. It is designed to familiarise people with negotiations and the issues involved in international fisheries. Following the WWF-publication of a series of documents titled The footprint of distant water fleets on world fisheries and to animate the debate on the relationships between fisheries agreements and sustainable exploitation of marine resources, WWF sponsored the establishment of a handbook for the negotiation of fisheries access agreements by a group of internationally reputed experts. This handbook is developed to improve the existing agreements towards sustainable marine fisheries and more equity. A series of workshops, of which that in Saly Portudal (Senegal) is the first one, is being organised to debate this handbook. The objectives of the workshop were: • Promote equitable fishery agreements between northern countries and developing coastal countries that are compatible with sustainable marine resource exploitation; • Increase the awareness of the states in the West African sub-region on the necessity of signing «block agreements» or «concerted agreements»; • Permit a dialogue between the different actors so as to increase mutual understanding. |
