With almost one thousand women fish processors, community leaders and Civil Society Organisations
representatives from all over the country, Greenpeace Africa celebrates World Fisheries Day and holds a press conference in Dakar, to demand of the Senegalese government to stop the fishmeal industries and to stop granting new fishing licences, and instead to support women processors and fishing communities, to protect the ocean and to ensure people’s food security.
Banners read (English translation from French): "Protect the Oceans", "Publish the list of vessels authorized in Senegal" and "Stop fish meal factories".
