Abstract
  • In most of the coastal countries, the fisheries enable to satisfy multiple socio-economic needs such as food safety, public receipts, employment and so on. It is especially true in many coastal developing countries where fisheries constitute a considerable source of food and incomes. However, the strong pressure on the fisheries resources becomes a great threat for the fisheries sustainability. This context of overexploitation is also marked by a great diversity of stakeholders intervening in the fisheries governance. Thus, a better comprehension of the socio-economic and ecological interactions and the stakes of the fisheries governance is essential to elaborate management policies more adapted to a transition towards sustainability. Based on the case of the Senegalese fisheries, this paper is centered on the selection process of some socioeconomic and ecological indicators whose thorough analysis allows us to propose a strategy of adaptive management of the fisheries resources in a context of multiple objectives, stakeholders and uncertainties. In order to achieve sustainability through an integrated management policy, this strategy is constituted by nine iterative and interactive steps: data collection, processing, analysis, communication, deliberation, decision, action, evaluation and adaptation. Those steps are the main components of the production and the use of any system of indicators.
