Resumen
Descripción
Ranked third in the world in terms of primary productivity, the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is an essential economic and food resource not only for the coastal populations of the region, but also for a large part of West Africa. However, it is under threat from overfishing, habitat degradation, pollution and climate change. The project aimed to reverse this trend and promote the resilience of the seven beneficiary countries (Cabo Verde, the Gambia, Guinea , Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal) in the face of the problems posed by the decline in fishing, biodiversity and water quality. Fostering synergies with regional initiatives, FAO coordinated the implementation of the project, which was executed jointly with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), in order to develop an integrated ecosystem approach to management at the regional level, and introduce reforms affecting governance, investment and management programmes.
