The case study presented in this paper highlights the decisive role played by social responsibility implementation in the success of a pilot co-management trial conducted on the Ngaparou small-scale fisheries site in Senegal. The trial was based on promoting local co-management initiatives defined by the fishers themselves and consisting of regulations for fishing in the adjacent maritime area. For the purposes of the trial, the Senegalese Government granted the local fishing community a measure of autonomy and collective responsibility for managing fishery resources. A legal basis was provided for these arrangements under a co-management agreement between the local fishers' committee (CLP) representing the community and the Fisheries Ministry. This new management model had positive effects on fisheries stakeholder behaviour and the fishing methods used by local fishers. It also led to the emergence of social responsibility within the CLP, thus helping strengthen the foundations of co-management. The local co-management initiatives were sustained through broad community support, including from quarters that were initially reluctant or opposed to such initiatives. The CLP's management approach was holistic, as it combined measures that focused not only on fisheries, but also social development and business support within the industry while integrating equity and gender. It approached small-scale fisheries from a new angle that was different from traditional government methods. The study confirmed the relevance of including social responsibility in the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). Other key aspects of the SSF Guidelines were also promoted by the management system set-up, namely co-management and participatory monitoring. Similar studies on other current co-management trials in Senegal are recommended to either confirm or qualify the importance of social responsibility in co-management processes. The Senegalese Government could also take measures to improve participatory monitoring effectiveness and sustainability so as to lend more credibility to co-management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
