While originally focusing particularly on the long-term development and governance strategy of the sector, the authors, faced with the increasingly apparent need for fundamental restructuring of the sector, redirected their attention to what has become an assessment of how to create a viable fishing sector that can effectively reach realistic stakeholder objectives. The draft report was discussed with representatives of the public and private sectors in Cape Verde September 19 and 20, 2007. The findings and recommendations of the workshop have been summarized in separate textboxes in the report; the complete findings have been attached as annex C. This report suggests that a strategy supporting a combination of short-term actions is needed to create a sector - using gradually decreasing public and donor funding - that would provide: a) fishermen and other stakeholders a long-term sustainable source of raw material, b) equitable income growth and employment prospects, and c) provide the country with a dependable source of protein for human consumption.CC BY 3.0 IGOABUNDANCE ESTIMATESADAPTIVE MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL LANDARTISANAL FISHERIESARTISANAL FISHINGBAITFISHBEACHBEACH SEINE FISHERYBIGEYE TUNABILLFISHBIODIVERSITYBIOMASSBIOSPHERE RESERVESCATCH MONITORINGCATCH PER UNIT EFFORTCATCH RATECATCH RATESCATCHING FISHCENTRAL PLANNINGCHLOROPHYLLCHLOROPHYLL CONCENTRATIONCOASTCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL ECOSYSTEMCOASTAL FISHINGCOASTAL WATERSCOASTSCOMMERCIAL FISHINGCONTINENTAL SHELFCONTINENTAL SHELVESCORALCORAL REEFSDIVINGDIVISION OF LABORECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEELSEFFECTIVE USEENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXPLORATORY FISHINGFISHFISH LANDINGSFISH PROCESSINGFISH PROCESSING PLANTSFISH PRODUCTIONFISH PRODUCTSFISH QUALITYFISH RESOURCESFISH STOCKSFISHERIESFISHERIES ACTIVITIESFISHERIES DEVELOPMENTFISHERIES MANAGEMENTFISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLANFISHERIES PRODUCTIONFISHERIES RESOURCESFISHERIES SECTORFISHERIES STRATEGYFISHERMANFISHERMENFISHERYFISHINGFISHING CAPACITYFISHING EFFORTFISHING FLEETFISHING FLEETSFISHING GEARFISHING GROUNDSFISHING MORTALITYFISHING PORTFISHING TECHNOLOGYFISHING VESSELSFLEETFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLIESFORAGE FISHFRESH FISHHABITATILLEGAL FISHINGINTERNATIONAL FISHERIESISLANDLANDINGLANDINGSLOBSTER FISHERIESLOBSTERSMACKERELMARINE ECOSYSTEMMARINE ENVIRONMENTMARINE HABITATSMARINE PROTECTED AREASMARINE RESOURCEMARINE SCIENCEMARKET FACTORSMAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELDMSYNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCESNATURENODULESNUTRIENTSPELAGIC FISHERIESPOLICY DECISIONSPRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLEPREDATORSPRODUCTION COSTSPUBLIC FUNCTIONSPUBLIC GOVERNANCEPURSE SEINE FISHERYRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTSALTINGSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSEASEA SURFACE TEMPERATURESHARKSHARKSSHELLSSHORESPECIESSPECIES COMPOSITIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FISHINGSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE USESUSTAINABLE USE OF FISHERIES RESOURCESSWORDFISHTARGET SPECIESTERRITORIAL WATERSTUNATUNA FISHERIESTUNASUPWELLINGWATER TEMPERATUREWHALEWHALE WATCHINGWILDLIFEWorld Bank10.1596/8029
