Fish are spread out to dry, as mist shrouds the beach at Fass Boye, Senegal, on March 20, 2024. Dozens of wooden fishing boats, known as pirogues, line Fass Boye's sandy beach, a sign of fishing's central role in the local economy. But like many coastal communities, the village about 100 km north of Senegal's capital, Dakar, has seen hundreds of its residents leave in search of more opportunities. Diminishing fish stocks and soaring living costs have made it hard to make ends meet, locals say. They blame overfishing by international trawlers and say their small boats can't compete.
