Descripción
The Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is one of the most productive and biologically diverse large marine ecosystems in the world. It features a diverse range of marine and coastal habitats, including wetlands, estuaries, seagrass beds, mangroves and coral communities, which host a large number of endemic and migrant species. The seven countries of the CCLME (Cabo Verde, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal) endorsed the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to address the degradation of the area as a result of overfishing, habitat modification and changes in water quality in 2016. In an effort to capitalize on the momentum and partnerships built during the first phase of the CCLME project (2010-2017), the present project undertook a number of interventions, at different levels, to strengthen partnerships and foster engagement for CCLME SAP implementation, as well as to strengthen the capacity of fisheries institutions and communities for the sustainable use of transboundary fisheries resources and associated ecosystems. The project focused on strengthening regional cooperation and fostering dialogue for sustainable governance of fisheries, marine and coastal habitat and biodiversity conservation, and improved water quality in the CCLME, in the process establishing partnerships for SAP implementation with national stakeholders, regional projects and programmes, as well as international agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the donor community.
