Guy in white skull cap with goat in background is Fall Htikh +221 522 7417..Woman in beach settlement with red and yellow cloth on her head is: Marerme Dieng..Industrialized fishermen pay a license to fish, but then there is no limit for how much they can catch. The artesenal fishermen are not regulated in any way. The govt is realizing they have to have some control and banned fishing in November and are opening 5 MPA's...600,000 Senegalese participate in the fishing industry. When you multiply that number times the 6 or 7 kids they each have and other dependents, you can see that this is a significant percentage of the 12 million Senegalese. Eighty percent of the fish caught are caught by artesinal fishermen.
