dc.descriptionThe Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME), is made up of a set of varied marine and coastal ecosystems. It is characterized by one of the most productive upwelling ecosystems in the world, providing a vital reservoir of resources for much of North West Africa. Countries within the CCLME’s recognized boundaries extend from north to south: Morocco, the Canary Islands (Spain), Mauritania, The Gambia, Senegal, Cabo Verde, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The coastline of the region is estimated at 4 220 km from Morocco to Guinea. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in North West Africa is characterized inter alia by activities such as illegal transhipment, fish “laundering”, unauthorized fishing, gear use and/or prohibited techniques, excessive and/or prohibited bycatch, unauthorized or undeclared catches, and fishing in prohibited areas or during the prohibited season. IUU fishing has cost the CCLME countries of Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea an estimated USD 2.3 billion per year between 2010 and 2016.
