Ogunade, Feyi (2025) Sierra Leone’s China relations block targeted action against illegal fishing.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
For nearly four decades, illegal foreign-owned fleets have devastated Sierra Leone’s once sustainable fisheries industry. Sierra Leone’s 400 km Atlantic coastline once contained abundant marine resources crucial to the nation’s economy. Fishing contributes 12% of the country’s gross domestic product and is the primary source of protein for 80% of the population. The industry employs around 500 000 people out of a population of eight million. But these jobs and economic benefits are in jeopardy. They have already dwindled and are under continual threat from the brazen network of foreign vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing along Sierra Leone’s coast, including exclusion zones designated for local fishers.
