Abstract

The FisherMan project Capacity building for sustainable Fisheries Management in the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) is co-financed by the European Commission through the ACP Edulink programme. FisherMan aims at supporting higher education institutions in the SWIO region to create new study programmes in sustainable fisheries management. This paper presents an overview of the project activities and describes the 1st edition of the FisherMan Regional Conference celebrated during September 2015 in Madagascar whose main aim was to bring together regional and international fisheries experts, authorities, professionals, academics, policy makers and other involved and interested in the Fishery sector, to exchange ideas and to promote an effective collaboration in the South-Western Indian Ocean and increase fishery management education at higher education level.
