Fishing and Aquaculture
West Africa's seas: a balancing act
West Africa boasts a coastline rich in fish stocks, favored by favorable ocean currents. Fishing plays a vital role in both the economy and food security, providing employment and an important source of protein for local populations.
However, this sector faces numerous challenges, including overexploitation of stocks due to industrial and illegal fishing. The effects of climate change and marine pollution exacerbate the situation, threatening the sustainability of resources and the livelihoods of artisanal fishers.
In response to these challenges, local and international initiatives are seeking to promote more responsible fishing practices. The goal is to reconcile resource exploitation with the preservation of marine ecosystems, in order to ensure a sustainable future for fishing in West Africa.
