Threatened by Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated fishing activities, according to several local and international NGOs, including Greenpeace Africa and Amnesty International.
The discourse, more than ever, is generating reactions and calls for action to prevent the depletion of marine resources and increased investment in the blue economy.
