There is a large number of coastal wetlands in West Africa that are vital both from an economic and biodiversity perspective. This biodiversity is impacted by human activities that tend to be concentrated in coastal zones, thereby affecting natural environments.The purpose of this plan of action is to put in place an environmental monitoring system and inform managers and decision makers on the best way to manage those sites while providing people with sustainable livelihoods and preserving the rich biodiversity. The plan of action combines interventions at the international, national and local level, with a key feature being capacity building at local level and knowledge transfer to local partners.
