The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), in partnership with the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA), launched a four-year project: Communities for Fisheries.
The project will build on the significant progress already made by NaFAA in improving the sustainable management of Liberia’s fisheries and implemented across four coastal counties: Margibi (Marshall) Grand Cape Mount (Robertsport), Grand Bassa (Buchanan) and Grand Kru (Grand Ces), engaging Kru and Fanti fishermen as well as fishmongers/fish processors.
But the Claim by EJF that over 33,000 people, including 11,000 fishers, rely on the fishing industry as their source of income to support their families is ‘Debatable’.
The FAO report shows data different from what the EJF said in its press release.
