Institutional Evolution at Lake Chad: Traditional Administration and Flexible Fisheries Management

Creator:: Sarch, Marie-Therese
Abstract:: Lake Chad is a vitally important wetland in the semi-arid Sahel corridor. It provides the basis of many thousands of livelihoods which depend on its seasonal fluctuations to renew fish stocks, farmland and rangeland. This paper describes how the institutions which govern access to fishing rights has evolved on the...

Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well Adapted Livelihoods, Maladapted Management

Creator:: Sarch, Marie-Therese and Allison, Edward H.
Abstract:: This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies...

Evaluating Livelihood Strategies and the Role of Inland Fisheries in Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation: The Case of the Yaéré Floodplain in North Cameroon

Creator:: Béné, Christophe, Mindjimba, Koané, Belal, Emma, and Jolley, Tom
Abstract:: It is usually assumed that most, if not all, small scale fishing communities, particularly in tropical countries, represents the poorest and most disadvantaged part of rural societies. As a result, these populations have been targeted for poverty alleviation by fisheries development programmes since the early 60's. Unfortunately many of these...

Traditional management of artisanal fisheries in North East Nigeria : a research framework

Creator:: Sarch, Marie-Therese and Neiland, Arthur E.
Abstract:: The Traditional Management of Artisanal Fisheries in North East Nigeria project (TMAF) has been funded by British Overseas Development Administration (ODA) to investigate the possibilities for designing a more effective management system for fisheries of the Sub-Saharan Savanna region using a community-based approach. The need for a new approach is...

Spatial Equilibrium, Market Integration and Price Exogeneity in Dry Fish Marketing in Nigeria: A Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) Approach

Creator:: Mafimisebi, Taiwo Ejiola
Abstract:: Fish is the cheapest animal protein source in Nigeria and dry fish, in particular, has the potential to solve the pervasive protein shortage problem owing to its relative affordability compared with fresh fish. Boosting dry fish consumption will entail retail price reduction which is achievable only if the market for...

A contextual analysis of small-scale fisheries governance in Nigeria: building on challenges and opportunities for sustainability

Creator:: Fakoya, Kafayat, A. and Akintola, Shehu L.
Abstract:: Complex social–ecological systems such as small-scale fisheries require the inclusion of human dimensions in fisheries management and planning for simultaneously preserving human health and habitat health.However, linkages between ecological, social, political and economic subsystems have been largely ignored in conventional fisheries management, in Nigeria in particular. Hence, the weak governance...

Contribution of Fishing to Households' Economy - Evidence From Fisher-Farmer Communities in Congo

Creator:: Béné, Christophe
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries in developing countries have often been perceived as a low-productivity, backward informal sector. As a result they are rarely considered as a possible entry point in poverty reduction and rural development planning. Data collected in Democratic Republic of Congo show that this perception may not reflect the empirical...

Climate Change: Implication on Aquatic Resources, Food Security and Livelihoods

Creator:: Badmus, Olanrewaju, Obadiah, F. V., Olaoye, J. O., Yacim, S. E., Laniyi, A. L., and Adedeji, F. A.
Abstract:: Climate changes are growing environmental concerns which are much in the scientific government and public eye at present. The potential impact on aquatic resources and livelihood are immense. From local to global levels, fisheries and aquaculture play important roles for food supply, food security and income generation. Some 43.5 million...

Governance, Decentralization and Co-Management: Lessons From Africa

Creator:: Béné, Christophe, Emma, Belal, Baba, Malloum Ousman, Ovie, Solomon, Raji, Aminu, Malasha, Isaac, Andi, Mamane Na, and Russell, Aaron
Abstract:: Today, decentralization and democratic participation are presented as necessary conditions to achieve poverty alleviation and ensure the sustainable use of our diminishing natural resources. In small-scale fisheries, similar ideas predominate and decentralization has become the new management paradigm through the concepts of community-based and co-management. In this paper, we present...
