In 2006, ministers of 16 countries bordering the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) formed an Interim Guinea Current Commission (IGCC). Actions are now underway to establish a permanent Guinea Current Commission (GCC) to oversee the sustainable development of the goods and services of the GCLME. The movement towards establishment of the GCC is provided with financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Technical support is provided to participating countries by four UN agencies (UNEP, UNDP, UNIDO and FAO). Additional support is provided by the World Bank and other international organizations in Norway, Sweden, Germany and the United States. The movement towards establishment of a permanent GCC is supported by a powerful political coalition of ministers of the 16 participating countries, along with a strong cadre of scientists and technical professionals from the region with proficiency in the LME approach gained from earlier phases of GEF regional projects. The GCC will be linked to an expanded scope of environmental protection provided to the region by the Abidjan Convention through a unique new “protocol” as decided at the 2nd Ministerial Meeting in the Osu Declaration that supports ecosystem-based assessment and management practices for sustainable development of the GCLME.

2006年，与几内亚当前大型海洋生态系统（GCLME）接壤的16个国家的部长组成了几内亚临时当前委员会（IGCC）。目前正在采取行动，建立一个常设的几内亚现行委员会（GCC），以监督GCLME产品和服务的可持续发展。全球环境基金（GEF）为建立GCC提供了财政支持。四个联合国机构（环境署，开发计划署，工发组织和粮农组织）向参加国提供了技术支持。世界银行和挪威，瑞典，德国和美国的其他国际组织提供了额外的支持。由16个参与国的部长组成的强大政治联盟支持建立常设海湾合作委员会的运动，以及来自该地区的一批强大的科学家和技术专业人员，他们熟练掌握了从GEF区域项目的早期阶段获得的LME方法。海湾合作委员会将通过《奥苏宣言》第二次部长级会议决定通过一项独特的新“议定书”，将《阿比让公约》为该地区提供的扩大的环境保护范围联系起来，该《议定书》支持基于生态系统的可持续发展评估和管理做法GCLME。
