Senegal – Mangrove harvesting and farming

“We realized that the oysters are disappearing and that the mangrove is dying,” says Aramatoulaye Diatta, President of the Cooperative of Actors of the Casamance Oyster Sector. Oysters are a vital source of healthy food in Senegal. FISH4ACP works with female oyster farmers to increase incomes and improve working conditions while reducing the pressure of oyster harvesting on Senegal’s mangroves.
