  abstract = {{T}o cope with the scarcity of fishery resources and loss of marine and coastal biodiversity in {S}enegal, local communities have set up, among other things, no-take zone ({ZIP}), by integrating scientific knowledge. {T}hese {ZIP}s function to conserve the biological and cultural diversity of the coastal zone, rebuild fish stocks, and enhance the livelihoods of local populations. {H}ere, we provide an example of an initiative of co-management that is inexpensive and involved fishermen in one {ZIP}. {F}irst, an oxygen sensor and {D}oppler current profiler were deployed to monitor dissolved oxygen levels and local sea currents, respectively. {S}econd, 12 scientific fishing operations, combining pelagic and demersal sampling, were carried out. {T}hird, a questionnaire was developed to ascertain the opinions and knowledge of fishermen on local co-management. {L}arge thermal amplitude and oxygen concentrations were recorded, respectively (17-30 °{C} and 1.5-7.75 mg l-1).





{T}he total abundance of fish was higher in the {ZIP} compared to surrounding areas. {E}pinephelus aeneus ({S}erranidae) and {D}actylopterus volitans ({D}actylopteridae) were the most abundant species inside (28%) and outside the {ZIP} (22 %), respectively. {L}ocal fishermen perceived that {ZIP} co-management had mixed success, stating a lack of information and unfair access of the harbor fishermen to the {ZIP}. {N}one of the fisherman associated climate change with the decline in catches, but an increase in the number of {S}enegalese industrial fishing boats. {T}he local fishermen mostly believe that the establishment of artificial reefs positively enhances local capture rates. {ZIP}, marine protected areas, and co-management are increasingly gaining support towards the marine conservation of countries in {W}est {A}frica, with the current study demonstrating the contribution of fishermen to collaborate in committees with administrative agencies and researchers for sustainable use.},
