Abstract

The River Gambia and its coastal zones, together with its tributaries and distributaries, such as the Bolongolu, provide favourable conditions for both artisanal and industrial fi shing. In this region, the fi sheries sector has emerged as an important employer, with shrimps being the primary species fished. The artisanal fisheries sector has attracted increasing activity, with hundreds of canoes landing thousands of tonnes of fi sh. Licensed trawlers and transhipment facilities make industrial fishing here highly competitive.
