Implementation of Responsible Fisheries and Foreign Vessel Management System in Senegal
- Abstract
- Since the 1960s Senegal has been a significant player in the sub regional and international fisheries sector. However, Senegal lack of implementing responsible fisheries has led some foreign vessels to employ less conventional methods in harvesting fisheries resources mainly tuna resources. In addition, Senegal lack of well managing foreign vessel’s catches has allowed foreign vessels which signed agreements with Senegal to make more benefits by exporting the catches in their countries for processing and marketing in order to maximize their benefits. Meanwhile, Senegal has been experiencing the painful cost of its fisheries agreements with foreign vessels operating in its waters. This study analyses the status and management system of Senegalese fisheries in order to see if the policies implemented are in accordance with the international management instruments and fisheries resources compliance requirements and domestic laws. This study also examines the main issues of which Senegal’s fisheries sector has been facing which prevent it to develop its fisheries industries. Finally this study gives some recommendations and policy actions derived from some successful fisheries management system of some countries case study. These recommendations focus on making a strong controlling system in accordance with the international regulations and laws. It is also necessary to insist on sharing the catches instead of leaving the whole catches exported by only foreign vessels. This study also strongly recommends developing fisheries industries in order to maximize profits by creating employments and processing the total production in Senegal.
