People in the fishing village Fass Boye, Senegal, perform everyday activities, from fishing, processing the catch and preparing traditional thieboudienne (made from fish, rice and tomato sauce, often with onions, carrots, cabbage, cassava and peanut oil) - all of which is coming under increasing pressure from the expanding wasteful fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO) industry in Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia.

'A waste of fish: Food security under threat from the fishmeal and fish oil industry in West Africa' is a 2019 report into food security in the region. Greenpeace Africa is calling on governments to immediately phase it out to stop the threat to regional fish stocks, which are essential for the food security and livelihoods of local people.
