Sustainable management of artisanal fisheries in developing countries; the need for expert systems: the case of the Pechakour Expert System (PES)

摘要

Environmental problems are very often ascribed to pollution. Nevertheless, various other environmental impacts are also associated with abusive exploitation of natural resources that remain abundant in many developing countries. An urgent public intervention Boncoeur [1], therefore, seems necessary and reasonable public policies must be found. Since economic resources and coastal environment in some countries, notably in developing ones, lack expertise, the recourse to the Expert System triggers public attention and intervention for sustainable management of resources. In this respect, the present article examines advantages of expert systems, notably the Pechakour Expert System (PES), as being helpful tools in decision-making. Another objective of this article is to highlight the efficiency and practical character of such expert systems.
