  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Global Change in African Fish Trade: Engine of Development or Threat to Local Food Security? Author: Lawton, Rebecca, Béné, Christophe Today fish is the most traded food commodity in the World. This situation is not without generating potential issues. On the one hand, fish trade is said to support economic growth processes in developing countries by providing an important source of cash revenue. On the other hand, fish trade is also said to lead to a decline in food security and a decrease in the availability of fish for the local population. In this paper we explore more thoroughly those two opposite views in the specific case of sub-Sahara Africa. For this we consider a range of eight national development indicators that encapsulate both economic and well-being of sub-Sahara countries over the last decade and correlate them against four indicators reflecting the country-specific importance of fish trade, industrial and small-scale fisheries in the economy of Sub-Sahara Africa. Our statistical analysis shows that when sub-Sahara countries’ data are considered at the macro-economic level the fear that fish trade may affect negatively fish food security is not substantiated by any statistical evidences. At the same time the analysis also shows no evidence to support the claim that international fish trade contributes effectively to national economic development and/or wellbeing. The last section of the paper discusses the various possible reasons for this apparent lack of correlation and highlights the respective flaws underlying the two opposite discourse about the role of fish trade in national development and food security.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Science and Policy Integration for Coastal System Assessment (SPICOSA) An Application to a Mussels Fishery Author: Raux, Pascal, Bailly, Denis, Bacher, Cédric The overall objective of SPICOSA is to develop a self-evolving, holistic research approach for integrated assessment of Coastal Systems so that the best available scientific knowledge can be mobilized to support deliberative and decision-making processes aimed at improving the sustainability of Coastal Systems by implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management policies. Based on a system approach, a multidisciplinary assessment framework is developed with a balanced consideration of the Ecological, Social and Economic sectors of Coastal Systems. This System Approach Framework (SAF) is used to explore the dynamics of Coastal-Zone Systems and potential consequences of alternative policy scenarios. Achieving this objective requires a restructuring of the science needed to understand the interactions between complex natural and social systems at different spatial and temporal scales including the overall economic evaluation of alternative policies. Furthermore, SPICOSA contributes to a more integrated science-policy interface, by developing and testing deliberation support tools for the transfer of scientific products to policy decision-makers, stakeholders, and end-users. The SAF and its tools are implemented in 18 coastal Study Site Applications, from Norway to Romania. A SAF Portfolio consisting of generic assessment methodologies, specific tools, models, and new knowledge useful for ICZM, will be produced in a user-friendly and updateable manner for future CZ researchers and professionals. Implementation design is based on an iterative, accumulative manner such that all of its products will be well validated and that community of researchers will grow along with the evolution of the SAF methodology for future use towards Sustainable Development in coastal zones.
