The Workshop is one of the activities undertaken within the GIZ-funded research project INDUCE - Defining socially-inclusive strategies for conserving fish functional diversity and promoting sustainable blue economy in Senegal. The aim of the workshop is to discuss how aspects of fish ecology (e.g. fish functional diversity) are reflected in the current governance policies of artisanal, small-scale fisheries and how these two dimensions (ecology and governance) can be best integrated to support the economic growth of the maritime sector in a sustainable way.
