Abstract

This paper examines DWF and the competition over new fishing grounds in four Gulf of Guinea countries, namely Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and Nigeria (“the four nations”). It explores the impacts on domestic industrial and artisanal fishing sectors of practices that result in unfair advantage for China and other DWF nations. Although DWF is here to stay owing to acute global demand for fish products, developing countries can get better deals from the exploitation of their marine resources, particularly fisheries. This paper offers recommendations for attaining greater equity and sustainability in the four nations studied.
