Living on the edge : wetlands and birds in a changing Sahel
The workshop was organised to improve the understanding of the dialectic between water-related infrastructures and institutional frameworks in West Africa. Papers address a multiplicity of issues on water governance: water, wetlands and international environmental agreements; legal aspects of transboundary water resources; water resources management at the local level: customary and modern institutions; Integrated Water Resources Management, environment, economy, and equity in national water policies; and river basin organisations in West Africa.
This report reviews the most recent research findings and management issues on the utilization of coastal resources in Senegal, with the view to providing baseline guidelines for future coastal planning initiatives.
