This study aims to derive and disseminate lessons learned on fisher participation in fisheries management as well as ways of supporting livelihoods through responsible fisheries management. It is intended primarily for government staff, non-governmental organizations and staff in other agencies working on artisanal fisheries management and poverty alleviation in developing countries. The study is based on ten case studies in four West African countries. The analysis focuses primarily on three topics: the role of artisanal fishers and government in marine fisheries management; issues and constraints in existing marine fisheries management; and the effect of marine fisheries management on artisanal fisheries' livelihoods

Cette publication presente les resultats d'une etude sur la participation des pecheurs a l'amenagement des pecheries, ainsi que les formes d'appui aux moyens d'existence moyennant la gestion responsable des peches. L'etude est destinee principalement aux personnels des organisations gouvernementales, non gouvernementales et d'autres institutions qui travaillent dans le domaine de l'amenagement de la peche artisanale et de la reduction de la pauvrete dans les pays en developpement. Le document est base sur 10 etudes de cas dans quatre pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. L'analyse porte principalement sur trois sujets: le role des artisans-pecheurs et du gouvernement dans la gestion actuelle des peches maritimes; les problemes et les contraintes qui existent dans la gestion actuelle des peches maritimes; et l'impact de la gestion des peches maritimes sur les moyens d'existence des pecheurs artisanaux."

The Expert Consultation was intended and designed to develop a set of general recommendations to assist in addressing the difficult subject of overcapacity in marine capture fisheries. The result is guidance about a general, flexible process for assisting the transition of fisheries that are characterized by overcapacity into fisheries that are characterized as fully utilized, economically efficient and that meet the management objectives and goals of the agency or group that has fisheries management responsibility.
Drawing upon recent analytical work prepared inside and outside the World Bank, this report identifies key lessons concerning the linkages between poverty and the environment. With a focus on the contribution of environmental resources to household welfare, the analysis increases our understanding of how specific reforms and interventions can have an impact on the health and livelihoods of poor people. 'Scholars and development practitioners increasingly recognize that in low-income countries there are inextricable links between poverty reduction and natural resources management. Demand has grown immensely for not only more, but better empirical evidence on those links. This volume offers a careful synthesis of key findings from growing literature on the environmental determinants of household welfare, as reflected by indicators of consumption, health, and income. The primary contribution of this study is that is has drawn out vital policy conclusions that will be of value to organizations and governments concerned about poverty and the environment in the developing world.' --Professor Christopher B. Barrett, Cornell University
