13. Management of cymbium resources through implementation of the closed season
A study on the assessment and planning of fisheries resources management conducted by JICA between 2003 and 2006 made it possible to set a closed season when there are many juvenile cymbium and the seeding of juvenile cymbium. These activities were taken over by COGEPAS, which started in 2009. New workshops were organised mainly for the Joal CLPA and its members joined the activities of Sindia CLPA, which had already implemented a closed season and spat enclosure to conduct similar activities since 2010. In 2011, the CLPA of Mbour joined the project and the three CLPAs developed an extended fisheries resource management.
