Says Bakau fisherman
Mr.
Saikou Mendy, a fisherman in Bakau has called on the fishermen folk to adapt to
best fishing practices especially fishing in the morning in a bid to protect
and safe the sea for posterity.
Speaking
to Mansa Banko Blog, he said, this is the best way to protect the sea instead
of fishing throughout the day (Morning, afternoon and evening).
Bakau
town includes the Cape Point
promontory, and its northernmost coastline marks the point where the Atlantic
Ocean meets the Gambia River. It is part desirable suburb, part shanty town and
part coastal resort.
The
coastline
is fringed with palm trees however, the beach area is composed of rocky,
laterite cliff edges and at high tide the sand can disappear altogether.
