Managing abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear in Cameroon's marine small-scale fisheries
Abandoned, Lost, or Otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) represents a significant global challenge due to its contribution to plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on marine ecosystems and coastal livelihoods. This study examines the local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishers and state officials in Cameroon regarding the ALDFG–plastic pollution nexus, its causes and impacts, and how LEK influences their understanding and willingness …
From 'Anglophone Problem' to 'Anglophone Conflict' in Cameroon
Since 2017, an armed conflict has been raging in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon between separatist forces and the Cameroonian military. This review analyses the historical origins and root causes of the conflict; the trigger mechanism of rising protests and state repression in 2016; the emergence and evolution of the armed conflict over the past 5 years; its impact on civilians; and hopes for peace. However, there is currently little pr…
The Nature and Scope of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing and Fisheries Crime in Cameroon
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and fisheries crime undermine maritime security especially for vulnerable coastal nations in Africa. This is particularly problematic for Cameroon where millions of people directly depend on fisheries for their livelihoods. Drawing on primary and secondary data, this article reveals the extent of IUU fishing and fisheries crime practices, noting that their operational synergies are a threat to Ca…
Maritime security and the securitisation of fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea
Since the 2000s, maritime security threats in the Gulf of Guinea region have been of growing international concern. In many countries, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is one such problem with negative impacts on environmental, food and national security and links with wider maritime crime. Focussing on Cameroon, this article argues that there has been a securitisation of the fisheries sector within the broader context of changes in ma…
Civil society, peacebuilding from below and shrinking civic space
This article focuses on the current conflict in Anglophone Cameroon and examines the role of civil society organisations (CSOs) in conflict resolution. In doing so, it explores a paradox in the peacebuilding literature. On the one hand, the ‘local turn’ in peacebuilding has emphasised a bottom-up approach that highlights the role of CSOs. On the other hand, the literature on ‘shrinking civic space’ has demonstrated how space for CSOs’ activities …
