The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) announced the beginning of a fishery improvement project (FIP) for small pelagic fisheries in the West African nation of Mauritania.
International fishing sector stakeholders, fishmeal and fish oil buyers, exporters, and processors, together with the Mauritanian fishery authority, signed a memorandum of understanding at the Seafood Expo in Brussels, marking the FIP’s official beginning. The organizations share a common commitment to sustainable fisheries and collaborating to publicly evaluate and improve the fishery, the SFP said.
