Fishing has been the main source of livelihood for many communities in northeast Nigeria, especially in Borno State which borders Lake Chad.
However, long-running armed conflict in the region has caused one of the worst humanitarian emergencies in the world. Fishing in Lake Chad has been banned on security grounds, depriving fisherfolk of their livelihoods.
