Data collection

Fisheries data collection has become needful globally to help in the management and monitoring of the fisheries resource. The FCWC had its Data Centre installed under the FAO-TCP 3215 project to ensure that reliable fisheries catch and effort data is collected from its Member States for analyses and publication.

Fish Trade

Fish trade plays a significant role in shaping the harvesting and the use of fish, and plays an important role in the transition to sustainable fisheries. Fish trade enhances living standards and sustainable development as well as contributing to food security.

Aquaculture Development

Aquaculture is the regular production of aquatic plants and animals under controlled conditions. Approximately 90% of fish produced in West Africa comes from artisanal capture fisheries (from the sea and inland waters) and from cultured fisheries.
