Fisheries management involves, among other things, knowledge of the actors and the catching gear used. These data are generally absent in the fisheries of Côte d'Ivoire. However, there is a strong fishing activity. To lead this study, surveys were conducted among fishermen and fishery administrators. The study of fishing activity in the area of Dioulabougou (Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa) in the district of Bouaflé done from November 2013 to February 2014 identified 88 fishermen. This population is composed of ivorians (39.77%) and foreigners (60.23%). The fishing activity is led by malians (Bambara ethnic group): 34.1%. Baoulé ethnic group (29.54% of ivorian fishermen) is the greatest ethnic group of ivorians. Two categories of fishermen stand in the fishing activity. We registered professional fishermen whose job is only fishing (84.1%) and professionals with another activity (4.5%). The fishing activity in Dioulabougou is dominated by adult aged more than 45 years (48%). Fishermen are predominantly illiterate at 42.04%. The fishing techniques used at Dioulabougou are conical fishing baskets (mesh and trunk of ronier), bamboo-traps, gillnets, bottom lines and shore seines. The illiterate situation of fishermen isa serious matter for sustainable management on fish’s resources.

Irvingia Gabonensis

Ce travail évalue l’importance socio-économique d’Irvingia gabonensis (Irvingiaceae) ou le manguier sauvage dans la région de l’Agnéby-Tiassa dans le sud de la Côte d’Ivoire. À cet effet, un inventaire de la population a été réalisé dans les zones agroforestières en particulier dans les cacaoyères afin de déterminer la perception de cette espèce par cinq groupes socio-culturels. Les différents usages et la rentabilité économique issue de la vente des amandes ont été également recherchés. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, la valeur d’usage ethnobotanique des différents organes, le taux de réponse des individus enquêtés et de la marge brute de commercialisation a été recherché. L’inventaire a permis de recenser seulement 26 pieds de I. gabonensis chez 35 paysans. Les travaux ont révélé deux usages principaux chez les Agnis, les Baoulés, les Groussis, les Malinkés et les Morés. Il s’agit de la consommation des amandes connue par 100% des enquêtés et de l’usage thérapeutique de l’écorce connue par seulement 10% de l’échantillon. Les investigations ont montré une marge brute de commercialisation moyenne de 27%. Des travaux complémentaires devront être réalisés pour valoriser d’avantage l’écorce et les feuilles. Aussi, nous préconisons le semis de graines ou le maintien de sauvageons dans les zones dégradées des cacaoyères en vue d’une gestion durable de cette ressource. SUMMARY This work assesses the socio-economic importance of Irvingia gabonensis (Irvingiaceae) or the wild mango tree in the Agnéby-Tiassa region in the south of the Ivory Coast. To this end, a population inventory was carried out in agroforestry areas, in particular in cocoa trees in order to determine the perception of this species by five socio-cultural groups. The different uses and the economic profitability resulting from the sale of almonds were also investigated. To achieve these objectives, the ethnobotanical use value of the different organs, the response rate of the individuals surveyed and the gross marketing margin were researched. The inventory identified only 26 stems of I. gabonensis among 35 farmers. The work revealed two main uses among the Agnis, the Baoulés, the Groussis, the Malinkés and the Morés. This is the consumption of almonds known by 100% of the respondents and the therapeutic use of the bark known by only 10% of the sample. Investigations showed an average gross marketing margin of 27%. Additional work will have to be made out to further enhance the bark and leaves. Also, we recommend the sowing of seeds or the maintenance of wildlings in degraded areas of cocoa trees with a view to sustainable management of this resource.

This study was carried out in the Agbo I classified forest (6 ° 24 '- 6 ° 41' N, 4 ° 50 '- 4 ° 09' W), which covers 15,575 ha. It contributes to a better knowledge of the dense semi-deciduous moist forest of Nesogordonia papaverifera (A. Chev.) Cap. (Malvaceae) and Khayaivorensis A. Chev. (Meliaceae). The surface surveys coupled with the itinerant inventories made it possible to have an inventory of 686 species, which are divided into 428 genera and 101 families. The most abundant families are Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Malvaceae, Apocynaceae, and Euphorbiaceae. Out of these species, 84.11% are phanerophytes and 3.50% are hemicryptophytes. In conclusion, this study improves the knowledge which is based on the composition, structure, and diversity of the woody vegetation of the Agbo I forest. The results show that the species richness of the Agbo I classified forest is important. However, this floristic richness of the Agbo I listed forest is sufficient to justify its protection and sustainable management for the conservation of biodiversity in Côte d'Ivoire.

In the area of Lakota (Midwest, Côte d'Ivoire), where the vegetation is a semi-deciduous forest, cacao growing is practiced by people from different origins. Cacao cropping techniques seem to be influenced by some social and cultural habits, according to the people and the agroecological areas. The present study aimed to understand(1) the cacao cropping systems and to identify(2) the reasons underlying the choice of vegetal species combined to cacao trees in these rural communities. To achieve this goal, interviews were realised with cacao farmers of four villages of the area. These interviews concern farmers’ profiles, the former agriculture practices, the variety of the cultivated cacao and the plants combined to cacao trees. The results show that among the 223 interviewed farmers, 72 (32.3% of the farmers) are natives, 42 (18.8% of the farmers) are immigrants and 109 (48.9% of the farmers) are non-native Ivorians. In total, 77 species regularly combined to cacao trees were named by the farmers and they can be divided into local species and exotic species. Plots ordination shows three agroforestry systems according to ethnic group of the locality. Cacao farms with the large proportion of local species are owned by Lakota native people "Dida". The exotic species are dominant in cacao farms that belong to immigrants (Malian, Burkina Faso and Guinean people) and "Malinké" people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group). The Akan people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group) combine in a same proportions exotic and local species in their cacao farms.

Production Area

The tchapalo, traditional Ivorian beer, formerly produced in northern Côte d'Ivoire, has overflowed the geographical limits of its production. Its consumption is becoming more momentum in Abidjan. For a better knowledge of actors and a valorization of this beverage, this work was conducted through a survey of 385 brewers and 77 tchapalo consumers selected in 3 areas of Abidjan. Results showed that tchapalo is produced exclusively by Burkinabe women (45.5%) and the Ivorian women came from northern part of Côte d'Ivoire (53.2%), mainly women of the Lobi ethnic group (90.2%). Tchapalo production was a significant source of income for these women. The biggest consumers of tchapalo came from the Akan ethnic group which represented 52.5% of respondents. Because of its financial accessibility (300 CFA francs per liter), tchapalo is consumed by all socio-economic and professional groups, particularly foremen (41%) and laborers (31.7%). Consumers who found therapeutic principles to the tchapalo represented 54.3% of respondents. Furthermore, over 95% of respondents preferred to consume into tchapalo production area to meet friends and also to maintain fraternity links with brewers. However, 25.7% of consumers chose to consume in a specific tchapalo production area for the taste of the beverage and 25.5% due to welcome that their reserves the producer. Favorite consumption moments were afternoons and evenings.

This study proposes an assessment of the historical coastline (TDC) mobility of the Ivorian coastline, specifically the Grand-Bassam coastline (Côte d'Ivoire), and suggests reflections on the sustainable management of the coastal environment in Côte d'Ivoire, taking into account coastal erosion. The objective is to evaluate, using the MobiTC software, the spatio-temporal and statistical evolution of the morphology of the Grand-Bassam coastal zone in order to plan appropriate coastal developments. Specifically, it is to extract images on google earth, to treat them under MobiTC and to analyze the rate of spatio-temporary and statistical evolution of coastlines. To do this, data from QuickBird images provided by Google Earth from 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 in the study area were used. Different software was used for image processing. The ENVI 5.1 software allowed georeferencing and thresholding to make the images superimposable and highlight the baseline. The digitization of the images was done with ArcGis software. The QGIS 2.18 software was used to convert the .shp files to the mid / mif format of the MobiTC software. The latter makes it possible to understand the statistical evolution of the coastline dynamics from the creation of a baseline, the skeleton of envelopes and traces. The variations observed between 1984 and 2016 show a fattening of 0.23 m / year in some sectors and an erosion rate of 0.34 m / year in other sectors. It is noted that 62.79% of the coastline is accretion and 37.21% is eroding.

The lagoons are high biological and economic potential areas exploited by thousands of fishermen. Otherwise, the persistent use of pesticides in fisheries may be perceived as a response of fishermen to lower yields and, consequently, to reduced income from fishing activities. In this context, the hypothesis of a lack of profitability concerning the activity of professional fishermen was therefore raised. To reach this goal, a market survey, investments and fish landings were carried out in order to analyze the profitability and economic performance of this activity. It recorded 5227 catch exits from a sample of 35 fixed fishermen in 7 villages. These were followed 15 times a month for 12 months whenever possible. In practice, approximately 60% of the suspected activity of professional fishermen has been observed. After elaborating the annual operating accounts and calculating the performance ratios, it appears that the lagoon fishing activity of Grand-Lahou is profitable and competitive compared to the alternative economic activities of the study area. However, performance is not homogeneous between villages. This suggests a fishing-related effect on fishers' performance. In addition, it is the Liza falcipinnis and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus species that significantly influence the value of production and hence income.
