A month-long fishing ban in Sierra Leone has left many out of work and struggling to support their families. Fishermen rushed to sea before the ban but caught little due to overfishing. Markets now face fish shortages, affecting national food security. The government promised aid, but many say they haven’t received support. Critics argue that allowing foreign trawlers to operate undermines conservation efforts. Sierra Leone\u2019s fishing industry faces transparency issues, risking jobs and marine resources. Fishermen hope stocks recover by the ban\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
