Abstract

At this very moment, with our African countries severely affected by economic crises, with drought and desertification spreading in our region, our sardinella helps many to survive. Sardinella— it’s our life blood; it is also the fish of the poor and our ‘food safety net’”, says Gaoussou Gueye, a Senegalese artisanal fishmonger of 30 years standing, and General Secretary of the Confederation of African Artisanal Professional Fishing Organizations (CAOPA).
