  abstract = {{S}ituated in {W}est {A}frica, {S}enegal has 700 km of coastline characterized by a large {E}astern {B}oundary {U}pwelling {E}cosystem providing significant biological productivity. {S}mall-scale fishing plays an important role in the national economy of {S}enegal. {T}he fishing gear used has a potentially direct or indirect impact on seabirds. {T}o examine and evaluate this impact surveys were conducted on eight landing sites. {F}ield surveys (2-3 days) took place in 2015 based on a standardized interview with questionnaire conducted with 225 small-scale fishermen. {T}he results obtained indicate that longlines are the fishing gear that causes the highest rate of annual accidental seabird catch (63 % of seabird caugth (n = 702)), followed by handlines (16%) and anchored gillnet (6 %). {T}he {P}omarine {S}kua ({S}tercorarius pomarinus) is the most captured bird annually (29 % of total captured birds), closely followed by the {C}ory's {S}hearwater ({C}alonectris diomedea) (28 % of captured birds) and the {N}orthern {G}annet ({M}orus bassanus) (13 % of captured birds). {T}he village of {Y}off is the landing site which has the highest rate of annual seabird catch with 39% of the total catch indicated, followed by {K}ayar with 19 % and {S}aint {L}ouis with 14%, both situated on the {G}rande {C}{\^o}te. {F}urther studies should be conducted in the entire {S}enegalese-{M}auritanian coast in particular in the northern part of {S}enegal, to better evaluate the annual catch of seabirds. {A} great collaboration should also be established with longliners, handliners and anchored gillnet fishers to better quantify incidental catch of seabirds by the artisanal fishing gear and set up mitigation actions.},
