  abstract = {{S}enegal has a network of protected marine areas ({MPA}s) but also protected fishing areas ({SPA}s) with a view to conserving marine biodiversity, protecting and restoring habitats and managing fishing. {R}ecent discoveries of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) were successively discovered in 2014 ({S}angomar offshore deep 473 million barrels in the deposit) and in 2015 straddling {S}enegal and {M}auritania in the deep offshore {K}ayar block and that of {S}t. {L}ouis offshore deep (450 billion m3). {T}his type of exploitation refers to original issues because the economic resources coming from the sea are essential for the {S}tate (e.g. artisanal fishing and fishing agreements, tourism, coastal urbanization), but also because {S}enegal is involved in major international conservation agreements. {T}he country is currently at a key moment in its oil history, whose production of the first barrels of oil is expected from 2021-2023. {T}he technical and security arrangements necessary for the environmental management of petroleum exploitation refer to a major concern, linked first to ecological problems in the exploration phase. {I}mpacts on marine biodiversity can be observed with the phenomenon related to the discharge of waste (spoil, sludge, waste etc.) or accidental spills (crude oil). {I}n addition, mapping of sensitive areas on the high seas (surface and seabed) is not clearly defined by scientific research centers ({CRODT}, {CSE}, {DGEFM}, etc.). {T}hus, faced with insufficient knowledge and information on the {S}enegalese continental slope and the risks linked to the exploration and future production of fossil fuels at sea, the {S}tate must take measures to better control the whole process of the oil and gas activities taking place at sea but above all to be able to reconcile them with maritime fishing and the conservation of marine biodiversity in order to manage all its maritime resources on a sustainable basis. {T}he data, in particular bio-ecological, fishing, physical and anthropological, acquired during the implementation of {MPA}s and {ZPP}s are all useful data for the establishment of benchmarks but must also be considered before the start-up phase. {R}ecent exercises to monitor and model the hydrodynamics of the {S}enegalese continental shelf under the {AWA} project are also valuable pieces of information that could be used to manage potential impacts (eg {P}olmar; 07022 of 16/07/2009, on the organization and operation of the national plan to combat marine pollution). {T}he project piloted by {AWATOX} also made it possible to carry out measurements of the ecotoxicological state of the peninsula of {C}ape {V}erde. {T}his project can provide input and support with relevant scientific information. {I}n view of this prospect of development of the {S}enegalese oil and gas sector, we emphasize that all actors, in particular those of the littoral, are encouraged to a participatory and inclusive management of fossil fuels located in the edge of the continental shelf.},
