  abstract = {{I}n the early 2000s, {S}enegal set up several {M}arine {P}rotected {A}reas ({MPA}s) along its coastal zone with the purpose of biodiversity conservation and to support sustainable management of fisheries. {H}owever, the impact of {MPA}s may vary according to the type of fisheries. {I}n {S}enegal, the sardinella fishery accounts for 70% of total catches. {T}his fishery is of crucial importance for national food security and employment. {G}iven this importance, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of {MPA}s, often being considered as a tool for fisheries management. {A}n analytical, dynamic and spatial bio-economic model of sardinella fishery, considering fish and fisher migration, has been developed and scenarios over forty years have been analyzed. {T}he results show that the fishery is economically overexploited and that {S}enegal could lose about 11.6 billion {CFA} over forty years of exploitation, i.e. 290 million {CFA} per year. {T}o achieve an optimal level of exploitation, it would be necessary to halve the current fishing capacity. {I}mplementing {MPA}s for 10, 20 and 30% of the {S}enegalese exclusive economic zone lead to slight increases in biomass (1%) and rent (5-11%). {I}n addition, spatio-temporal closures can lead to increased exploitation in unclosed areas, due to the absence of enforcement. {A}chieving target 11 of the {A}ichi {C}onvention, i.e., 10% of coastal and marine areas protected per country, will have a reserve effect on the resource but also only lead to weak improvements in economic indicators for the {S}enegalese fishery. {F}inally, because the sardinella resource is shared among many countries of the {S}ub-{R}egional {F}isheries {C}ommission ({SRFC}), a sub-regional cooperation is necessary for a sustainable management.},
