Abstract

Amnesty International said the situation in Sanyang, a coastal village reliant on the fishing sector was "particularly dire". Amnesty International said in June 2021 and March-April 2022, it conducted research in Banjul, the capital, and the coastal region of Sanyang which is both a tourism hub and a centre for fishing where a large fish oil factory is located. B Amnesty International flags the devastating impact of overfishing on local communities. b Human rights watchdog, Amnesty International, on May 31st asked the Gambian government to take all necessary steps to eliminate illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing (IUUF), combat overfishing, and increase the transparency of fishing agreements to protect local communities.
