What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Artisanal fishermen from Saint-Louis traveled to Dakar for the 5th African Forum on Business and Human Rights. They protested the impact of the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) offshore gas field, which now encompasses the Diattara reef, a traditional fishing area. The fishermen reported that the gas installations have disrupted daily life, leading to reduced access to the sea and declining incomes.
