| The six floristic biomes in the Western Cape Province (W.C.P.), namely the Fynbos, Afromontane Forest, Thicket, Grassland, Nama and Succulent Karoo Biomes (Low and Rebelo, 1996), are not only diverse with regard to the variety of plant species and communities occurring there, but also contain a wide diversity of animal species, biogeographical zones, landscapes and natural features, both within the terrestrial and aquatic (freshwater and marine) context. In addition to the topographical diversity of the Cape Fold Mountains, the coastal zone and lowlands, and their transition into surrounding habitats, the W.C.P. experiences a wide climatic diversity too. These features have resulted in an extensive and complex diversity of habitat types which partly... |

| The emphasis of the meeting was placed on bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), but a number of the conclusions and recommendations reached apply equally to all tropical tunas. A review of fisheries and available data confirmed that both longline and purse seine fisheries for bigeye tuna have been expanding rapidly over the current decade. There are however major gaps in catch and effort data available, in particular major longline fleets operating from Indonesia and several eastern Indian Ocean ports and some which are engaged in illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing. Furthermore, size data for most longline fisheries are generally missing or of doubtful quality. A number of recommendations on research were formulated, dealing with improvements in... |

| At the end of 1999 there were 233 offshore oil and gas fields in production in the West African region between Angola and the Ivory Coast. These fields currently produce some 3.1 million barrels of liquids per day. The region thus bears itself well in comparison with other shallow water areas of the world such as the North Sea and South East Asia. But it is the immense promise of the giant deepwater 'elephant' fields that is fuelling the current boom in exploration and development in the region and raising the levels of investment coming into it. |

| In order to assist with this task, the Management Committee had further requested IODE to carry out an assessment of data and data product requirements of existing oceanography and marine meteorology programmes/projects, and evaluate whether these were currently met by the various groups of data centers (1). It had been recommended also to use the experience gathered in the preparation of the GOOS Data Management Plan (1998-199) and possibly the GCOS Data Management Plan as examples. |

| Au Sénégal, la gestion des pêcheries initiée par le gouvernement a échoué parce que les pêcheurs se sont presque tous retenus de participer au système directif de gestion, le ‘‘topdown’’, dans lequel les décisions leur sont imposées par l’autorité administrative centrale. C’est bien cette situation qui a conduit au déclin des ressources halieutiques. En revanche, les résultats semblent positifs dans des villages comme Kayar, Bamboung et Nianing où les pêcheurs prennent des initiatives de reconstitution de leurs pêcheries. Cette tendance nous conforte dans notre conviction qu’au Sénégal, en matière de gestion des pêcheries artisanales, la réussite est essentiellement construite sur l’autonomie des pêcheurs, la reconnaissance de leurs initiatives et le... |

| The introduction of constitutional democracy in South Africa required the redrafting of most Acts of parliament to promote goals of social equity and redress of the consequences of past racial discrimination. The introduction of the Marine Living Resource Act of 1998 required the State to “restructure the fishing industry to address historical imbalances and to achieve equity within all branches of the fishing industry”, but provided no specific strategic policy guidelines for achieving this end. The initial burden of implementing this social agenda fell on government fisheries biologists and a series of interventions with profound economic, legal and political consequences were embarked upon without any proper framework for understanding the expected... |

| Coral reefs are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Rivalling terrestrial rainforests in their biological diversity, and providing major economic benefits from fisheries and tourism, coral reefs ecosystems are of global concern. In addition, reefs provide many vital functions in developing countries, especially in Small Island Developing States. Until recently, stresses caused by human activities – such as land-based sources of pollution and destructive fishing practices – were considered to be the primary dangers to coral reefs. While these problems still persist, the last two decades have seen the emergence of yet another, potentially much greater threat. Coral reefs have been affected, with increasing incidence and severity, by coral... |

| The cooperative versus non-cooperative management of the South African west coast hake stock is explored using game theoretic modelling in conjunction with an age-structured model. The age-structured model is used to produce a physical flow account for input into national resource accounts. Between 1989 and 1998, the average catch of hake on the west coast was 92000 tons, most of which was harvested by the demersal trawl sector. The physical flow account indicates that the conservative re-building management strategy pursued for the fishery over the same time period mentioned above, has resulted in a 29% increase in the demersal trawl catch over the last decade. We simulated the effects of alternative quota restrictions on two fishing sectors (the... |

| The idea of the Open Science Directory started with a request of IOC/IODE to create a database of all accessible journals in oceanography and marine science. The A-to-Z-list of EBSCO was the perfect tool to organize this collection. It was an easy step to extend this collection to a general directory of journals accessible in developing countries. With the help of EBSCO, it was possible to create the Open Science Directory, which started on February 14, 2008. Access to scientific literature is very important for the scientific work of every scientist but is often extremely difficult to obtain in developing countries. As a result of different projects a large collection of e-journals is now available for researchers in developing countries. The number of... |

| Studies on the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa have generally neglected the links between economic growth and environmental quality. In many such studies, economics and ecology have been treated as mutually exclusive rather than complementary domains. The key to Sub-Saharan Africa's future is to achieve sustainable growth. This calls for replacing the traditional concept of growth based economic output alone with a new approach that stresses development through conservation of Africa's valuable natural resources of soil, water, forests and wildlife. Following the 1968-73 drought in the Sahel interest in both the economic development and the ecology of Sub-Saharan Africa has increased enormously. On the one hand, economists have used the word "crisis" with... |

| Relations between coastal countries and fishing fleets from non-adjacent countries changed radically in the 1970s and early 1980s. This was primarily a consequence of the declaration of exclusive economic zones (EEZs) by many coastal states in the years leading up to the close of the negotiations of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982. Most significantly, by recognizing the right of coastal states to determine how their waters were to be exploited, the UNCLOS provided a legal basis and economic motivation for the negotiation of access agreements between coastal states and distant water fishing fleets. This paper examines some of the economic issues which arise out of such agreements, particularly as they relate to relations... |

| The West African region covered by IUCN-BRAO comprises 17 countries: Cape Verde, Senegal, Mauritania, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côted'Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Chad. It extends over a surface area of 7,500,000 sq. km with a population of nearly 250 million inhabitants, or an average density of 33 inhabitants per sq. km. With the exception of Chad and Mauritania (members of the Permanent Inter-States Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel1), IUCN-BRAO's target region corresponds to the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) space. Eight of the fifteen ECOWAS member states --the CFA franc zone-- form an economic and monetary space: the West African Economic and Monetary... |
