This bibliography is intended for people who are involved in fisheries, aquaculture, climate change, disaster management and policy development in West Africa or interested in one or more of these issues.It includes literature from the late 1960s to 2010 on the fisheries and aquaculture sector in West Africa, and on climate change and climate variability impacts. It was compiled with the aim to understand the major drivers of change in fisheries production systems, especially in relation to climate
change. There are few studies in the West African region (and Africa in general) specifically focusing and analyzing the impacts of climate change on fisheries sector at country, sub-regional or regional levels, necessitating the need for researchers in this region to acquire information from studies carried out in temperate and developed areas.
