Publisher's Synopsis
Fishing is a development factor and must be rationally and efficiently exploited. Indeed, it represents a very important sector in the economy of some African countries and more specifically those of the ECOWAS region. The need to regulate fishing constitutes a guarantee for the development of this source of income as well as the protection and preservation of nature which is in conformity with the new orientation of the international legal order, tending to the safeguarding of nature and natural resources.
