Research to Inform Inclusive Management of the Cayar and Ufoyaal Kassa-Bandial MPAs in Senegal
The Cayal and Ufoyaal Kassa-Bandial marine protected areas (MPAs) were created in 2004 in the north and 2020 in the south of Senegal.
The project, funded by the Norwegian Environment Agency, through the Nordic Council of Ministers, is led by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), in cooperation with the Institute of Marine Research (IMR), GRID-Arendal, Aarhus University (Denmark), Åbo Akademi University (Finland) and the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). The three institutions NIVA, IMR and GRID-Arendal together comprise the Norwegian Blue Forests Network (NBFN).
