Over the past decade, Chinese-owned and -flagged distant water fishing vessels have expanded their presence in West Africa, including building up fishing enterprises and deepening partnerships to access West African waters. This rapid expansion is occurring in a region of small nations that often suffer from a lack of financial, technical, operational, and institutional capacity to manage their fisheries. This is compounded by a lack of political will to improve fisheries monitoring and management. To dive deeper into these challenges, the Stimson Center engaged trusted marine and fisheries experts from the People's Republic of China (PRC) and West Africa to better understand how West Africa and the PRC's fisheries interests and experiences converge and differ. Representatives from academia, governments, businesses and nongovernmental organizations mutually identified specific areas where more work and cooperation is needed to achieve long-term sustainable fisheries management in West Africa
