    Fisheries Production Systems, Climate Change and Climate Variability in West Africa An Annotated Prepared for the GTZ/Worldfish Fisheries and Climate Change Project in West Africa Preface According to the United Nations’ definition, the West African region constitutes of 15 ECOWAS* member states plus Mauritania. It covers a total coastline of 6,500 km with a continental shelf of 310,050 km2 and extends over a surface area of 7,500,000 km2 with a population of nearly 250 million inhabitants. The countries of this region can be divided into coastal and landlocked states. The marine waters of almost all coastal countries are located in the Gulf of Guinea Large Marine Ecosys- tem, with periods of upwelling effects ensuring a high fisheries production. Peculiar differences for instance in fishing capacities, history of fishing, resource abundance and many others prevail within West African countries. The coastal countries belong- ing to the sub-regional fisheries commission (CSRP) are Cape Verde, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal and Sierra Leone. These countries have exceptional climatic and ecological conditions and possess rich and abundant fisher- ies resources. A second group formed by Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia is often referred to as ‘other coastal countries’. Finally, the landlocked countries comprise of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. They are practicing inland fish- eries and, compared to the coastal countries, have a low level of fish catch and also lower per capita fish consumption. Fisheries Production Systems, Climate Change and Climate Variability in West Africa: The West African fisheries sector is of high importance in terms of trade, food An Annotated Bibliography security and livelihoods; however, its magnitude varies greatly across countries.
