description This article discusses the management of the Atlantic area of Central Africa based on the Gabonese case. It highlights a maritime area with significant fisheries and oil potential that attracts multifaceted covetousness at the national, regional and international levels. This clearly leads to illegal exploitation of fisheries resources, particularly because of the relative porosity of borders. The article aims to highlight the motives, manifestations and impact of inefficient maritime management on the sustainability of bio-aquatic resources. In fact, the methodology used is based on a content analysis of press documents, official reports and semi-directive interviews carried out with about fifty stakeholders in the fisheries sector, public and private entities. While the results obtained show, on the one hand, the current inability of States to control their respective maritime domains, they also highlight the beginning of a coherent management of these maritime territories through national, regional and continental approaches.
