The maritime zones of Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Sierra Leone form an exceptional West African oceanic ecosystem, bathed by the Canary Current. This region covers almost 1,500 km of coastline, with rich continental shelves ranging from 20 to 200 meters in depth. Oceanic upwellings create unique breeding conditions for remarkable marine biodiversity.
The waters are mainly home to pelagic species such as tunas (bigeye, skipjack and yellowfin), sardinella and mackerel, and demersal fish such as groupers, sea bass and captains. The coastal areas of the Bijagós archipelago in Guinea-Bissau, and the coastlines of Liberia and Sierra Leone offer particularly favorable ecological conditions for the reproduction and growth of these species.
This marine wealth represents a major economic resource for these countries, with significant fishing volumes destined mainly for export to European markets, guaranteeing impeccable traceability and quality thanks to sustainable and responsible fishing processes.
