In coastal communities across Africa, fishing the ocean is a way of life and vital to providing incomes and nutrition. African waters are rich in fish of all varieties.
Launched in 2010, the West Africa Regional Fisheries Program made up of 10 African countries, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, Senegal, and Sierra Leone goal is to increase the economic contribution of marine resources through strengthened fisheries governance, reduce illegal fishing, and increase value added to fish products.
In Cabo Verde, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, and Sierra Leone, where phase 1 is reaching completion, Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing has significantly decreased. For countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone, reduction in Unreported and Unregulated fishing has had direct positive results on livelihoods in coastal communities.
