1 Data-poor fisheries in West Africa: Past, present and future? Dyhia Belhabib Sea Around Us Project

2 Data needs in West Africa Focus area: West Africa, Known for Lack of data, Highly abundant in fish, High dependence on fish for food and money, Poor governance and high corruption, Failure of development programs, Highly sensitive to Climate Change and poor adaptive capacity.

3 Data needs in West Africa The official data that is used is: Incomplete: E.g. Exporting more than what is caught in 1 Guinea Bissau 0 Amount (t x 10 3 ) Landings Exports Year Guinea Bissau: (FAO FishStatJ) Domestic fish exports > Domestic fish landings Re-exports are excluded

4 Data needs in West Africa The official data that is used is: Inconsistent: E.g. Eating ghost fishes Amount (t x 10 3 ) Fish consumption Supply Year Guinea Bissau: Per capita consumption (Census) x Population supply (FAO FishStatJ)

5 Challenges in West Africa Senegal: PhotoShoped AMLEP2 Mission (US Navy and Senegal Navy)

6 Challenges in West Africa Morocco: We catch it, We don t eat it, We don t sell it, We don t process it, But We don t discard it. Mola mola

7 Missing sectors in West Africa Illegal fisheries, Discards, Recreational fisheries, Subsistence fisheries, Artisanal fisheries (partially), Industrial fisheries (particularly foreign).

8 Debunking the myth in West Africa 1. Review existing reported catch times series FAO and national data 2. Identify missing data sectors, time periods, species, gears 3. Seek alternative information literature searches & local experts 4. Develop data anchor points expand to country-wide estimates 5. Interpolation between anchor points 6. Total catch times series = reported + missing component

9 Results (some examples) West Africa The Gambia FAO Sierra Leone FAO FAO Senegal Mauritania Liberia FAO FAO FAO Guinea G. Bissau Cape Verde FAO FAO

10 Results: artisanal catches West Africa The Gambia Sierra Leone Senegal Mauritania Liberia Guinea G. Bissau Cape Verde

11 Results: subsistence catches West Africa The Gambia Sierra Leone Senegal Mauritania Liberia Guinea G. Bissau Cape Verde

12 Results: foreign catches West Africa The Gambia Sierra Leone Senegal Mauritania Liberia Guinea G. Bissau Cape Verde?

13 Food: Changes in the diet Senegal Liberia Scombridae Soles Grunts Catch (t x 10 3 ) Snappers Year Clupeoids Catch (tx 10 3 ) Guinea Bissau Largehead hairtail Atlantic bumper Year Bonga shad Bivalvia Threadfins Catch (t x 10 3 ) The Gambia Sharks Sardinellas Croakers 40 Catfishes Others 30 Mullets Bonga Year

14 Adaptive strategies- drivers? Pirogues evolved into a new species Pirogues adopted a migration strategy 250 Pomatomus saltatrix Catch (t x 10 3 ) 200 S. maderensis 150 Sardinella aurita Cymbium Cynoglossus spp Ethmalosa fimbriata Year From Guinea / Guinea B. Figure showing the catch composition of artisanal migrant fishers catches in Senegal.

15 ? 49 Mauritania Cape Verde Senegal The Gambia Guinea Bissau Guinea Sierra Leone Liberia Legal foreign 210 Illegal foreign foreign 210 EEZ Boundary Domestic legal legal EEZ boundary Disputed area

16 Mauritania 49 Cape Verde 84 Senegal 3 The Gambia Guinea Bissau Guinea 23 US $ recovered/ US $ MCS spent 8 2 Sierra Leone Liberia Legal foreign 210 Illegal foreign foreign 210 EEZ Boundary Domestic legal legal EEZ boundary Disputed area 2

17 Outcomes Taxonomic changes over a period of 60 years as opposed to MMF Relative importance and performance of each sector for the economy and food security Marginalized but important sectors (Subsistence, recreational) Interactions between sectors (discard recovery, overlapping targeted species) Value lost to illegal fishing and potential for recovery Employment generated by fisheries Impact of climate change, overcapacity and overexploitation over time

18 Thank you!
