Resumen
Descripción
The Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but also the coastal mainland countries in the region of Africa, are endowed with extensive coral reefs. These fragile ecosystems have been under the threats of climate change, reef degradation, sand mining, and overfishing, as well as IUU fishing. This is undermining fishery resources preservation, leading to a loss of catches and subsequent revenues for many fishing communities depending on them. As such, this project sought to assist in strengthening the management and conservation of coral reefs and its fisheries as key to enhancing the status of resources in the target countries, stopping the downward trend in production and ensuring long-term sustainable fisheries and resilient communities.
