‘AWA’ PROJECT
• Build the foundation of a West African observatory
• Create a subregional task force on the ecosystem approach to the management of fisheries and the marine environment in West African waters under the effect of climate change
Climate variability influences the state and functioning of marine ecosystems (Planque et al., 2010), and the interactions between fishing and climate are the main drivers of change in marine systems. This interaction impacts on ecosystems, and thus on those who rely on the services they provide (Perry et al., 2010). The pelagic productivity in the West-African marine upwelling ecosystems sustains one of the world’s largest small pelagic fisheries. Tropical fisheries are particularly influenced by environmental variability and instability, raising the problem of the interactions between the various components of the ecosystem, and the dynamics of the environment, of fish stocks and of fishing communities. The present integrated large cooperative project proposes a strategic partnership that will be capable of developing a vision and the scientific basis for an ecosystem approach to the management of fisheries and the marine environment (‘EAMME’) in West African waters to be implemented within national and international organisation e.g. CECAF assessments as a long-term endeavour focusing on small pelagic. This sector is of vital importance for the economies of West African littoral countries in terms of both artisanal fisheries that generate significant national food supplies and of licensed foreign fisheries, including foreign recreational fisheries. It has been suggested that the fisheries sector has further potential for growth (Fonseca, 2000), which highlights the need for scientific advice to underpin management decisions. In turn, improved resource management will be a key element in managing the ecosystem in West African waters in order to safeguard sustainable fishery production in the area. EAMME calls for a multidisciplinary approach comprising marine and fisheries ecology, biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, climate research, economy and earth observation data from space. Combining process studies of ecosystem functioning, long-term biological and physical monitoring and modelling, the final goal is to develop indicator-based management and adaptive decision support tools for EAMME in the context of global change and regional cooperation, since the same stocks are shared by several West African countries (see CCLME). To achieve this goal, the laboratories involved will work in two main areas of research: the monitoring of oceanic biological resources (assessment) and their functioning and modelling (ecological processes). These are both research areas of outstanding importance in the broader scientific context of the analysis of global change, and of paramount relevance for West Africa. Both research activities will be done with a particular interest in capacity building of West African partners’ i.e. approach to development that focuses on understanding the obstacles that inhibit West African research infrastructure from realizing their developmental goals while enhancing the abilities that will allow them to achieve measurable and sustainable results for EAMME. The first line of research will focus on improving the description of physical, biogeochemical and ecological processes and the development of monitoring techniques and methodologies. The second line of research will assess the usefulness of such data (and results) for parameterizing, calibrating and validating models for the management, process description and forecasting of the global change scenario. The overall vision of the project is to establish a synergistic network of West African researchers working on their local marine resources in their associated habitats, benefitting from and building upon past and ongoing cooperation projects involving working groups in West Africa and in Germany and France and making use of existing structures. Some of the partnerships and framework required have already been established with various institutions in West African countries that are already committed to this crucial goal, and new university laboratories are springing up. However, capacities are still small, and developing countries need significant support to develop their national and regional networks (e.g. RFMOs) to international standards of governance, and to develop their scientific infrastructure in the context of global change.

Le papier suggère que sans un renforcement cohérent du cadre institutionnel et normatif de cette gouvernance, d'un compromis politique entre le Nord et le Sud sur les responsabilités de mise en oeuvre ainsi qu'une implication effective des acteurs non-étatiques dans les processus engagés, l'atteinte des objectifs escomptés restera une utopie. Cet argument sera défendu par l'évaluation de la gouvernance mondiale du changement climatique et ses retombées sur les pays du Sud en termes de défis et d'opportunités.

La pluralité d’appellations existantes pour ces services révèle une certaine confusion et indique un manque de consensus entre les accords internationaux en matière d’environnement, les organisations internationales et les institutions nationales. Les premières traces de ce concept peuvent être relevées dès le début des années 90, à la fois dans des textes contraignants et des textes non contraignants même si dans la majorité des exemples le concept apparaît par le biais des textes adoptés par les conférences des parties. Cette utilisation de termes sans consensus a été considérée comme problématique par plusieurs conférences des parties. Certaines ont décidé de lui accoler un terme explicatif, d’autres ont mis en doute l’intérêt de son utilisation. Cet amalgame terminologique appelle une clarification qui devrait être un préalable au développement de ce concept dans les règles de droit. Une définition précise des concepts de services environnementaux et écosystémiques pourrait être un premier pas vers une meilleure appréhension de ce concept et permettre une utilisation raisonnée de l’évaluation environnementale favorable à la conservation de la biodiversité.

Ainsi que l’ont souligné Pascal Marty, Franck-Dominique Vivien, Jacques Lepart et Raphaël Larrère (2005), dans leur ouvrage « Les biodiversités : objets, théories, pratiques », le mot « biodiversité » dépasse désormais largement le champ de l’écologie auquel il fait référence et est mobilisé dans de nombreux débats, que ...

Toutes ces règles se développent, s'entrecroisent et génèrent des zones réglementées sur l'espace maritime de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, dans un contexte global de développement des activités sur la mer et le littoral. La cartographie du droit de l'environnement marin apparaît comme un outil potentiel pour favoriser une gestion intégrée et une planification spatiale marine de ces espaces. Cet article présente à la fois la démarche et les incohérences juridiques qui ont été identifiées dans le cadre de ce programme de cartographie des règlementations, notamment sur le champ d'application du Code de la pêche maritime au Sénégal, sur les conflits de compétences dans la surveillance de l'environnement entre les différentes administrations intervenant dans ce domaine ou encore sur les frontières maritimes des États.

Les atteintes à l’environnement marin et côtier s’inscrivent dans un cadre juridique et institutionnel jusque-là insuffisant du fait tant de l’imprécision de certains textes juridiques que de leur très relative effectivité. Toutefois, le juge sénégalais par un premier jugement percutant vient contrecarrer cette affirmation et s’instaure comme un nouvel acteur du droit de l’environnement pour faire face à la vulnérabilité du milieu marin. En effet, en condamnant les auteurs d’atteintes à l’environnement, le Tribunal de Dakar s’est distingué en reconnaissant l’importance des atteintes à l’environnement mais également en sanctionnant les préjudices causés à l’environnement marin.
