In Nouadhibou, Mauritania, the end of a two-month fishing ban brings hope for local fishermen, but concerns about overfishing and declining fish stocks persist. Fishermen face challenges due to industrial fishing and climate change, impacting their livelihoods. The Mauritanian government is working with the EU to implement sustainable fishing practices, balancing economic needs with environmental protection. The fishing industry is crucial for the country's economy and employment, but scientists warn of the need for stricter management to ensure future fish populations.
