Resumo: 	Since 1995, an experiment on co-management of fisheries has been carried out in the Aby Lagoon (Côte d'Ivoire). The process is based on a consensual definition of the rules of management and the setting up of organizational structures (fishing committees) ready to work with government agencies to achieve common goals. The preliminary results show that fishermen are conscious of their duties. They are available to involve themselves in an active and efficient way. The structure of exchange (communication) created for this purpose ensures satisfying participation of all. The bioeconomic impacts of the co-management can already be seen. Though these positive results are beneficial to the whole community, some fishermen (the owners of beach seines) pay heavy taxes, and that leads to their opposition against the innovation. The process of co-management has favored the supervision of the resources rather than their management in an extensive way. Consequently, women are not consulted in the decision-making process. The takeover of the process by the users (which goes on slowly) to be sustained requires the formalization of enabling instruments such as laws, to strengthen the status of the committees, among other things.
