Insufficient fisheries resources management initiatives. In the framework of sustainable management of fisheries resources, players in the fishing industry, who are the main users of such resources, could not develop any initiative to ensure their proper management. A few cases were recorded at the fishing sites of Cayar, Mbour, Joal and Saint-Louis. At the Cayar site, players in the industry placed a ban on the use of mono-filament fishing line in accordance with the Fisheries Code. They also put in place procedures governing the catching of belt-fish (Trichiurus lepturus). This measure was finally scaled up to the entire country. At the Mbour and Joal sites, players in the fishing industry developed initiatives for the protection of cymbium “yet” and octopus “yaranka” (Octopus vulgaris). At Saint-Louis, the Purse Seine College, which belongs to a committee called the “Diamalaye Committee”, introduced rotating trips. In particular, this strategy aims to control fishing effort and avoid overproduction. The objective is twofold: first, it will help to avoid fish dumping on the beach, and secondly it will enable fishers to sell their products at competitive prices In spite of all these efforts, other bold measures and initiatives could be taken by stakeholders in the fisheries industry with a view to managing and protecting resources. Other initiatives also suffered from lack of fund raising. This is an important aspect because it could enable CLPAs to take care of some of their expenses without relying on financial partners. Activities to be targeted are Income Generating Activities (IGA), member contributions, sale of membership cards, etc.
