Resumo: 	These last years, while adressing marine conservation problems in Western Africa, 3 major issues were generally raised by our local partners: -Most of the distant water fleets fishing in the coastal waters of other countries do not often abide by the international standards of responsible fishing; -The number of distant water fleets is steadily increasing in the Exclusive Economic Areas of developing countries; -Theses fleets have tremendous ecological and economic consequences, which resulted in a crisis of fishery management. Yet it is thanks to fishing agreements that distant water fleets have legal access to the fish resources of developing coastal countries.More important: it is thanks to subsidies that the behaviours of distant water fleets have such damaging and economic consequences. This presentation expresses the fact that “subsidies regimes should be reviewed and improved in order to protect marine environment and to promote the living conditions of local people”.
