This course explores the increasing pressure on marine resources in The Gambia, focusing on the effects of overfishing and the rapid growth of fishmeal industries. It examines how these practices contribute to declining fish stocks, ecosystem degradation, and growing socio-economic challenges for coastal fishing communities.

Guided by Ocean Literacy principles, the course highlights the strong link between human activities and ocean health. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how unsustainable fishing and industrial fish processing affect marine biodiversity, food security, and the livelihoods of local fishers and value chain actors.

The course also presents practical and policy-based solutions, including sustainable fisheries management, effective monitoring and enforcement, and community-based resource governance. Emphasis is placed on building awareness, encouraging responsible practices, and strengthening collaboration among stakeholders.

By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to understand current challenges and support efforts toward the sustainable management and protection of marine resources in The Gambia.
