Gambia-Senegal Sustainable Fisherie

The Gambia-Senegal Sustainable Fisheries Project, known locally as "Ba Nafaa" is a five-year regional initiative supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development West Africa Regional Mission and implemented by the University of Rhode Island and The World Wide Fund West Africa Marine EcoRegional Program. Project activities are carried out in partnership with The Gambia Department of Fisheries and other fisheries stakeholders in The Gambia and Senegal. The goal is to promote sustainable fisheries management including the shared marine and coastal resources between The Gambia and Senegal. Most field activities take place in The Gambia with an emphasis on sole, sardinella, shrimp and oyster fisheries.
