Industrial fish meal factories in The Gambia are depleting local fish supplies essential for community nutrition and livelihoods. Promises of economic benefits have gone unfulfilled, leading to increased poverty and environmental degradation. Many young people have risked perilous journeys to Europe, and food scarcity has forced a reliance on imported chicken. Efforts are underway to unite regional communities to protect their waters and restore sustainable fishing practices.
