Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
West Africa has pioneered several decades of artisanal fisheries management reform. Calls for stronger access rights and collaborative management between government and artisanal fishers highlight that there are still major obstacles: a lack of high level political will, reflected in low budgetary allocations; for the implementation of artisanal fisheries policies, inadequate and poorly targeted support for fisher organizations; poorly defined and unfair roles and responsibilities of fishers in management compared to government and industrial fishing; lack of enforcement of industrial fishing and exclusive artisanal fishing zones, and inadequate defense of human rights and particularly the important role of women in artisanal fisheries.
